In 1968, model Dolores Wettach married Williams, the Hall of Fame baseball player and manager, meeting him on an airplane. It was his third marriage. The couple had two children: John Henry Dussault Williams (1968–2004) and Claudia Franc Williams Abel (1971–2023). Their marriage ended in divorce in 1974. Dolores raised her children on a farm near Putney, Vermont. By all accounts, the relationship between Ted and Dolores remained chilly as their children grew. Although Ted's will stated his desire to be cremated when he died and have his ashes scattered in the Florida Keys, Williams's son John-Henry and younger daughter Claudia chose to have his remains frozen cryonically. Ted's elder daughter, Bobby-Jo Ferrell, brought a suit to have her father's wishes recognized. John-Henry's lawyer then produced an informal "family pact" signed by Ted, Claudia, and John-Henry, in which they agreed "to be put into biostasis after we die" to "be able to be together in the future, even if it is only a chance." Bobby-Jo and her attorney, Spike Fitzpatrick (former attorney of Ted Williams), contended that the family pact, which was scribbled on an ink-stained napkin, was forged by John-Henry and/or Claudia. Fitzpatrick and Ferrell believed that the signature was not obtained legally. Laboratory analysis proved that the signature was genuine. John-Henry said that his father was a believer in science and was willing to try cryonics if it held the possibility of reuniting the family. Following John-Henry's unexpected illness and death from acute myeloid leukemia on March 6, 2004, his body was also transported to Alcor, in fulfillment of the family agreement.
