Linda and Family,
I just saw the obituary on the Ledger website and am out of town today.
Bill was one of my favorite persons and I always enjoyed chatting with him during the times when the home inspection business was going.
You both have been a wonderful addition to the Lakeland community and I wish you the best.
My heart goes out to you, he had quite a battle, and now he's at rest.

Dear Linda,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. You know that you and Bill were very special to me. I will always hold a special spot in my heart for him. He was the best boss and friend one could ever have. He is not forgotten. I love and miss you.
Always thinking of you.
Love, Debbie Carlott
