INVERNESS, Fla. - John Henry Williams, son of Hall of Famer Ted Williams, wants his body frozen and kept alongside his father's corpse.

The son's will dictates that his body be "cryonically suspended" by Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Ariz., the St. Petersburg Times reported Saturday.

John Henry Williams died of leukemia March 6.

After his father died July 5, 2002, he had Ted Williams' body taken to the Arizona cryonics lab to be frozen, in hopes that one day he might be brought back to life somehow.

That set off a battle with his half-sister, Bobby Jo Williams Ferrell, who said her father's will stated he wanted to be cremated.

But John Henry Williams said Ted Williams signed an informal family pact in 2000 in which he, John Henry and John Henry's youngest sister, Claudia Williams, agreed to have their bodies frozen when they died.

In December 2002, Ferrell dropped her objections.

John Henry Williams' will, dated Dec. 22, pointedly leaves out Ferrell. It names Claudia Williams and Albert Cassidy, a trustee in the elder Williams' probate case, as personal representatives of the estate.
