His birthday was on Oct. 2nd.

From the San Francisco Chronicle:

"Williams-Sonoma founder Chuck Williams celebrated his 100th birthday at Piperade, surrounded by 20 friends, including restaurateur Cecilia Chiang, who just celebrated her 96th birthday; Mary Risley; Sue Fisher-King; hosts Wade Bentson and James West; and a pack of other pals who worked with Williams at his company."
