Dr.Limbaugh was a great person. I have known him for 30 years. He treated me as part of his family. He was a very generous person. He had such a huge impact on my life. It will not be the same when I open my email and not getting one back from him. I will truly miss him. I already do. I always got the message that he was always asking how I was doing, even up to the week of him passing. I am so thankful I knew him because I get to tell Dr. Limbaugh stories the rest of my life. He fought a hard battle. He gave it his best. My prayers go out to the Limbaugh family. Love, Lydia

My deepest sympathy to Mrs. Limbaugh, Jim, Cindy, Jason and their families. I had the priviledge of meeting Dr. Limbaugh 30 years ago when I first came to Clarksville and working with him for many of those years. He was an asset to the medical community and really cared about the patients. He was a teacher to anyone who wanted to learn. He loved to share his knowledge.He never settled for status quo! He loved to learn new medicine and kept up with the ever-changing world of medicine and technology. As important as his work was to him, he loved a good time. There are many social gatherings that Dr. Limbaugh was right in his glory! I can see and hear him laughing now. We all have "Limbaugh" stories to tell that aren't as pleasant as he could have an aggravating nature, but that's why we loved him. He mellowed over the years and became one of the kindest and compassionate people I have known. I am so grateful to have known him , learned from him, worked with him, laughed with him, fought with him, and called him my friend.
