‘Everwood’ actor Treat Williams laid to rest in Vermont

Treat Williams was laid to rest Tuesday, a little over a week after the actor’s tragic death in a motorcycle accident.

The funeral service took place in Vermont, according to People. On Monday, a memorial service was held at Williams’ home in Manchester, Vermont.

Williams, who was 71, died June 12 in Vermont after a car cut him off, his agent said. He is survived by his wife and two kids.

The Stamford, Connecticut-born actor appeared in more than 120 projects during a career spanning nearly five decades. He starred on the hit WB series “Everwood” as Dr. Andrew “Andy” Brown and earned a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in the 1979 film adaptation of Broadway musical “Hair.”

On Sunday, daughter Ellie Williams shared a Father’s Day tribute, writing on Instagram, “I love you, Dad. I miss you.”

Last week, former co-stars including John Travolta, Justine Bateman and Emily VanCamp shared memories of Williams after his death.

“The many times we worked together — always wonderful and I was always excited for the next time,” VanCamp, who starred with Williams on “Everwood,” wrote on Instagram. “Sending all my love to your family Treat. Fly high my friend.”

Matt Bomer, who worked with Williams on the police series “White Collar,” called his former co-star an “absolute treasure.”

“I was so honored that he agreed to play my father on ‘White Collar,’ and he jumped in and made every day on set a joy,” Bomer wrote on Instagram. “He taught me in the most beautiful way — through patient example. He’s one of the few actors I’ve worked with who always checked in on me — even years after we worked together.”
