William Lawless

Lawless, William of Altamonte Springs, Florida died peacefully with family on Thursday Dec. 11 of complications related to heart disease. Originally from Atlantic City, NJ, "Bill" was a prominent attorney in Orlando FL. A former Captain in the U.S. Air Force, Bill will be greeted in Heaven by his father John, mother Marie, brothers Tom and Jack, sister Dorothy, Grandson Jason, and many other beloved family and friends. We are sure they warned Heaven that this opinionated, fiercely loyal, and honest-to-a-fault Irishman was on his way. Bill is survived by his wife Carol of 59 years, his 8 children Cathy Summers, Colleen Murray, Bill Jr., Brad, Chris, Carol Pompa, Shawn and Keith. Also by his grandchildren Heather Pepper, Sondra Contino, RJ Murray, Justin Murray, Carolyn Harf, Alex Pompa, Paige Pompa, Anna, John, Lauren, Olivia, Samantha, Abigail, Kira, and Declan. His great grandchildren Jackson, Matthew, Lucy, Coraline, Morgan, and Maverick. Services will be held on Tuesday December 16 at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Maitland. Public viewing will be held at 12pm, Memorial Mass at 1pm, and tribute to life at 2pm. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to The Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration www.thepoorclares.com in support of Bill's sister in residence, Sister Pia (Patricia Lawless).
