Do you remember the story two years ago about the homeless man with the golden voice who was discovered pan-handling for change on a cold Ohio street?

It turns out, he didn't fall back into old habits and end up on the street again as some had worried. Williams now works and helps the homeless and drug-addicted whenever he can.

He maintains an apartment and continues recording voice-overs for Kraft Mac and Cheese commercials.
