    I really enjoyed talking with him each time my car was being worked on. I just asked him recently was he ready to sell his business and retire and he said probably this year and took my card. God rest his soul, he was a nice man.

    William was always a privilege to speak to, whenever I would tow a car or truck in for repairs. He was definitely one of the good ones and will be missed by many. Prayers of comfort and strength for the friends and family.

    Every time I sat in his waiting room , I watched him be kind and helpful to everyone that came in. He started working on my car in2000. He was honest, thorough and helpful. He became more than my mechanic he was my friend. I will miss him. May God give all his family and friends peace.

    We are so sorry for the loss of our dear friend. William has serviced our vehicles and those of our kids for many years. He was so much more than a good business owner, always going above and beyond. A true friend who will be greatly missed.

    Remember him from way back, a precious man, good man. My sweet mother Mae Garrison would never let anyone work on her car but William,, she loved him so. Prayers for his family and all who knew him.

    William Started working on our cars in 1984. He was a good friend and was so reliable. Recently my granddaughterwas moving from Colorado to Alabama, her car broke down so they towed it to Lebanon for William to fix. He did. He was the only person we knew that would be honest with us and do the job right. We will miss you William.

    I never met William, but my daughter, Joanne Foster always spoke highly of him. I know he fixed their jeep recently after another company had worked on it. I was always grateful to him for fixing David’s jeep even though I didn’t know him. I’m so sorry to hear about his passing. Our prayers are with the family.

    You won’t find any better person than William Carmack. He was a fine Christian man. He will surely be missed.

    We were devastated of William passing. He has been my mechanic for a very long time and true friend to my husband and I. He will be greatly miss by all who knew and loved him. To his wife and children there are no words that can help you in this time of sorrow, but I do know one thing God will help you, and your memories are there forever. This has been so shocking to me , because I thought it no other mechanic can tell me what is wrong with my car. I told him to dropped me off at the Health Department and charge Charles for the labor. He pick me up when he was finished, and charge Charles for the Labor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
    May God bless the family as an whole.

    Jeannette & Charles Smith

    My dad (Charlie Churchwell) introduced me to Mr. Carmack about twenty years ago. He was a good man that instantly made you feel comfortable. Always going above and beyond to do the right thing. The only times we disagreed was when I did not think he was charging me enough for some repairs. Well, we lost Dad a couple of years ago. Now there is another hole that cannot be filled, not because he cannot work on our vehicles any longer, but because he was just a good person. He will be missed.
    Mr. Carmack, Maybe you and Dad can relax and catch some fish….. RIP
