In 1992 Williams began a relationship with anti-folk co-founder and singer Cindy Lee Berryhill, now his wife. In 2009, Williams lived in Encinitas, California with Berryhill and their son, Alexander, part of the year but eventually had to enter a nursing home due to dementia. He is suffering from Alzheimer's disease, the early onset of which is attributed to a brain injury Williams sustained in a 1995 bicycle accident. The medical bills have been enormous, and the family is asking for donations toward his continued medical care. On December 14, 2009 Paul Williams was accepted for Medi-Cal (Medicaid) coverage.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“The intent of matrimony, is not for man and wife to be always taken up with each other, but jointly to discharge the duties of civil society, to govern their family with prudence, and educate their children with discretion.”
—Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. Weekly Visitor or Ladies Miscellany (June 1807)
“The Family is the Country of the heart. There is an angel in the Family who, by the mysterious influence of grace, of sweetness, and of love, renders the fulfilment of duties less wearisome, sorrows less bitter. The only pure joys unmixed with sadness which it is given to man to taste upon earth are, thanks to this angel, the joys of the Family.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
“Respectable means rich, and decent means poor. I should die if I heard my family called decent.”
