As a young man, Williams (nicknamed John John by his mother after John F. Kennedy Jr.) joined the Air Force, and was stationed at Laughlin AFB in Texas. He made a special appearance in the 1989 TV special Sesame Street: 20 and Still Counting, where he reunited with Herry Monster. Through a 2011 interview, published on ToughPigs, there is suggestion John John visited the set around this time. A 1998 interview in the San Antonio Express-News described a funny moment in Williams' relationship with his wife: “Williams has been married to Lupita, a native of Del Rio, for nine years. They met when he was stationed at Laughlin AFB. Two months into their relationship, he dropped the bomb. Williams told his future wife of his childhood stardom. She still laughs about the sudden revelation. "When he told me, right away it clicked: 'You're the kid with the cheeks,'" Lupita recalls.” As of 1998, Williams and his wife resided in San Antonio with their two children, and was working on establishing himself as a Tejano singer, following in his parents entertainment footsteps (his mother was a jazz singer, and his father was a bassist for Doc Severinsen's Tonight Show band).
