Death date: Apr 26, 2016
Mr. William “Bill” Almond, 64, of Charlotte, died Tuesday, April 26, 2016. A native of Carthage, TN, Bill was the son of Lloyd and Peggy Almond. He was preceded in death by his parents, a brother, Tip Almond, his stepmother, Bobb Read Obituary
Bill and I retired within a few months of each other. And I cannot recall the number of times that I started to pick up the phone and call him just to see how he was doing. My regrets! Bill was a customer of mine and I enjoyed every minute that I spent with him. We would talk business and then we would talk cars and motorcycles. Rest in peace dear friend!
To Peggy and the entire family, you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. I work for now American Airlines and have know Bill for many years. He was such a joy and always told me "he was the hardest working man at the Charlotte Airport". We would always have coffee and joke around when he came by the office. A great guy and friend, he will be missed. May God give you peace and comfort during this period in life.
Peggy, Michael, Big Al, Michelle, words cannot express the sorrow we are feeling for the loss of your Husband, your Father, and my best friend, my confidant, my adviser, my neighbor, fellow hot rodder,,,,, my buddy Willie. The fact is, Bill maintained special relationships with so many people. These friendships seem to never interfere with one another, Bill made time to for you.
Bill has influenced so many with his wisdom and practical solutions to problems and situations. His sayings, we lovingly called: "Almond-isums" :" I am the idea man, now you have to built it"- "You don't have to "Clock Out" to do this Job.- "So, I see you had an Miraculous Recovery",-" I've been Getting It , all day".
Bill had the Sprit of an Angel, The Luck of the Irish and the Wisdom of King Solomon, a man to have in your center court or on Speed Dial. Bill Taught me how to be a Friend. He will be sorely missed. .
Family hold on to the memories and trust that you will find comfort.

You have taught me so many things. How to change my oil,how to weld, how to build a deck, how to treat every human being as your equal, no matter social status, colored creed. Here is so much more i need to learn and now you are gone. I don't know how to go on without you. You were my rock, my # 1 man and I'm dying inside without you. I don't know how to be me without you. I know God has taken you because it was your time and he couldn't stand not having you with him any longer . But I need you, Mama Michael and Chell need you. Life is not fair or the same any longer...!i just pray you are at peace and in our Lord's loving arms . No more pain. But at the same timr I am so angry with him because you are needed
Here!!!' With me!
My love, my life, I love you forever. I enjoyed every minute of the last 39 years with you and wouldn't have changed a thing. My sweet. I miss you so much. Love love!

I have had the privilege of knowing Bill for many years while doing general contracting work at the airport.
I have enjoyed being around this fine person as he was always the same" good ole" Bill Almond every time you saw him. My thoughts go out to his wife, Peggy and his entire family as I am sorry for your loss. Bill will be missed by everyone that knew him.
With deepest sympathy,

Allison, so sorry to hear the news about your dad... I lost mine several years ago. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Ted Elkins
Words can not express the amount of emotions that are moving inside me. Willy (and the rest of the almond family) are like a second family to me. Im glad I have happy memories to mask the pain this tragic time brings. I am sending my condolences to the family. I know this is a hard time for you all but we all will make it through with Prayer. Willy and his smiling face, will truly be missed but never forgotten.
With Love,
Taylor Edwards
