William Edward "Bill" Lands

Sorry for your loss, - Mike Shepard

I am shocked to hear of Bill's passing. We've worked together on graphic projects for the past 25 years. Lately the amount of business we have done together has shrunk so we didn't talk as frequently. He was one of the most genuine and caring people I've encountered in my 40 years in this business. I will miss him greatly as I know you will as well. May God comfort you in the days ahead.

May God rest Bill's soul. My sincere condolences to the family. I knew Bill growing up in Charlotte, and particularly close to his sister Colleen. I knew Bill as early as I can remember, being a kind and gentle man. His one of a kind smile is like an unspoken introduction or greeting. I am saddened to hear of Bill's loss, and may God give his family the peace that surpasses all understanding. Shalom!

Bill's influence extended beyond mere friendship. As a devoted father and husband, his loyalty and love for his family were evident in every action. He was a pillar of strength and support, always ready to lend a hand or a listening ear. Bill's ability to connect with people was not limited to friends but extended to his family and community, creating a network of relationships that will continue to honor his memory. Our shared experiences, particularly our time spent on vacations, working on...

I first met Bill on a trip to Nantahala with our singles ministry from church. He, so graciously, put our camping, rafting & guide duties together. He was the sweetest, most kind, generous, funny & likable guy you could ever know. He could chat your ear on any topic and delve into its deepest areas. He fiercely loved his family and was there to help when needed. Our condolences and love are with the family and our prayers for the Lord's comfort.

Bill was one of my closest friends during high school, and we remained in contact for years thereafter. We spent a lot of time together, and he was always there for me when I most needed empathy, kindness, or guidance through the maze of adolescence. I am to this day deeply grateful to have had such a dear friend.

Bill was a kind and funny guy. I only had the pleasure of hanging out with him a few times but his wit and intellect were on full display every time. His daughter and son in law are my best friends and his charm and love shines through them when they speak of him. We will miss you Bill..see ya on the other side.

I went to school with Bill in Charlotte, NC from 7th grade through our high school graduation and we were in many classes together. He was always a good friend, a smart student, and, after reading the obituary about his life, I'm not surprised that he lived his life to the fullest and did everything so well. My deepest sympathy to his daughter on the loss of her wonderful father. And, also, my condolences to his sisters and other members of his family. God bless you all during your time of...

I knew Bill from high school and spent some pleasent summer days with him swimming in our lake, riding our horse and playing tag in the tall grass next to the lake. He once helped me to catch a duck with a fishing hook in its web so it could be taken to the vet. He was such a smart and lovely friend, and although I've been gone for 53 years, and only comunicated with him occasionally on the web, He was part of the tapestry of my teenage years and I remember him with great fondness. RIP,...
