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:
“My ambition for station was always easily controlled. If the place came to me it was welcome. But it never seemed to me worth seeking at the cost of self-respect, or independence. My family were not historic; they were well-to-do, did not hold or seek office. It was easy for me to be contented in private life. An honor was no honor to me, if obtained by my own seeking.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Wherever the citizen becomes indifferent to his fellows, so will the husband be to his wife, and the father of a family toward the members of his household.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
“Anytime we react to behavior in our children that we dislike in ourselves, we need to proceed with extreme caution. The dynamics of everyday family life also have a way of repeating themselves.”
—Cathy Rindner Tempelsman (20th century)
