NBA executive Pat Williams’ energy and enthusiasm for life were irrepressible. He wrote more than 100 books, and ran 58 marathons. He has 19 children —14 adopted from around the world. The general manager of four NBA franchises, Pat was co-founder of the Orlando Magic.
Pat was diagnosed with incurable multiple myeloma in 2011 and declared that his mission was remission. We visited Pat at his home after doctors declared his cancer in remission and, as always, he graciously shared the wisdom gained from a life well-lived.
