Background

He faced criticism in the 1980s for questions over his campaign finance practices. In 1998, he retired hours before the deadline to file nominating petitions, allowing his son Anthony Hardy Williams the opportunity to run unopposed for his father's 8th senatorial district seat. The younger Williams had already filed his nominating petitions to run for his House seat, so he remained on both ballots. He resigned his House seat when he won both elections simultaneously.

Hardy Williams died on January 7, 2010 at the Kearsley Home in the Wynnefield section of Philadelphia.
