William Culp Obituary

It is hard to believe it has been two years. I still miss Dr. Culp's smile, friendliness, and compassion. Each time I go in to his office, I recall all the times he showed great professionalism and care for his patients. Thinking of his family on this day.

Just heard about Dr. CHIP'S passing today. I am shocked and saddened. He was our dentist for over 20 years. Thank you for taking care of us and our son. Prayers for the family and all who loved him.

RIP to a wonderful dentist and man .you will be missed by so many.

I worked with Bill at Home Supply Co. during our high school days. Bill had such a great sense of humor. We always found something to laugh about as we rambled around town in the work trucks. My career has taken me away from Rock Hill, but I will always remember Bill as a great friend. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Until we meet again...............

Sorry for your loss. I am still in shock that we not see him anymore at the practice, great dentist. Prayers to the family.

Bill and I were friends at Clemson. We were both zoology majors and spent many hours studying together. He was a good friend and challenged me to study just a little harder as we often competed for the best grade. We pulled many all nighter study sessions together but I was usually the one that left first because I would be sleeping on top of my text book. I have thought of Bill many, many times over the years and intended to call him and thank him for challenging me to be better. I was stunned when I saw the obituary and greatly saddened I had never called and thanked him for being such a good study buddy while at Clemson. I am encouraged to know Bill had a wonderful family and such a dedicated life to his profession and especially to God. I am happy to know that someday Ill see him again and we can both know together we achieved the ultimate goal of knowing God and living for Him. My prayers are with the family and to encourage them to remember the good times they had with Bill.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

My prayers are with Bill's family. I knew Bill most of my life from our years at WTS through graduating from Northwestern. Our fathers worked together and were the best of friends. May God's Grace and healing be with you now and in the days ahead. Bill was indeed a blessing to so many.

Bill Culp was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Proud to consider him my friend. Prayers for his family. He is in a much better place now looking down on us all.

May God , who watches over us and hears us when we pray, be very near to give you strength and comfort you today. May He bless and keep you within His loving care, and may it help you just to know that He is always there. We will truly miss him and his loving smile.

We are saddened by the passing of Dr Culp. He has been our dentist for more than 25 years. He was one of the most kind, patient, caring people we have ever know. He will be sorely missed. Our condolences to his family. May the Lord hold them in His loving arms, comforting them and fill them with peace.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, loves leaves a memory no one can steal.

Bill is on God's care....what better place could he be.

I am very sad to see Dr. Culp has passed. He has been my dentist for the past 10 years and will be greatly missed. I for one will miss his warm smile and caring personality every time I saw him. Thinking of his wife, children and staff during this time. Much Love!

Bill was our family dentist since he opened his practice in Rock Hill until we moved away late last year. He was an excellent dentist, and I not only referred to him as my dentist but as a friend as well. He will not only be missed greatly by his family and friends, but, by the community as well. Our sincere condolences to the family and his staff.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Bill Culp was my great friend from high school and our days at Home Supply Co. Bill could do anything, whether putting up a TV antenna, or making Phi Beta Kappa at Clemson and becoming a wonderful dentist. Everyone in my family looked forward to dental visits with Dr. Bill, and I looked forward to catching up on old times, when we would double date. I'll miss this wonderful friend for now, and look forward to seeing him and his mom and dad in Heaven. Our prayers go out to Janice, Charlie and Alex.

Dr. Culp has been my dentist since 1989 when I moved to Rock Hill. I also knew him at Oakland Avenue Presbyterian and watched his twins grow up. My prayers and thoughts for his family. I will miss him! Judith Province

Dr. Culp has been my dentist for years. He had a wonderful personality and was a caring dentist. He will be missed.

I read the following recently, perhaps it will bring you comfort (author unknown).

The nicest place to be is in someone's thoughts. The safest place to be is someone's prayers, and the very best place to be is in the hands of GOD!

May happy memories carry you through this time.

Dr. Culp was awesome. My husband and I truly will miss him. He was so caring about his patients. He will never be forgotten. Thoughts and prayers for the family and work family.

My sincere condolences to the Culp family. I worked with Bill at Home Supply Company in the late sixties and early seventies. Bill was a really nice person.

Dr. Culp was such a kind and gentle soul. He will be greatly missed by our family.

I am extremely saddened by the news of Dr. Culp's passing. I have been a patient of his for over thirty years, and he has always been amazing. The atmosphere in his office is unlike that of any other dentist I have seen. The tone is always friendly, upbeat, professional but homey. I am sure that is not by accident but is an extension of his personality.
I have never met a man with more character and integrity. When my mother who was eighty-something began having teeth break off at the gum line, she wanted new teeth in the front, and I wanted her to have them. Dr. Culp made molds, but he kept stalling and never let us reschedule a time for her to come back in. I now realize that he recognized that her dementia was worse than I did and knew that there was no point in spending all that money on her mouth or putting her through that extensive procedure in her state. I have always completely trusted Dr. Culp's position on what my family and I should have done, and I feel fortunate now to go to Dr. Charlie whom I also trust comletely.
Finally, Dr. Culp was a doctor who went the extra mile. Once, when my mother had a dental procedure done, I was a little worried since I had to go out of town for the weekend. Dr. Culp, however, alleviated my concern by going to Westminster Towers to check on her himself. She was thrilled! Also, once one of my granddaughters had ulcers in her mouth on a Sunday, and my daughter was afraid she had Hand, Foor, and Mouth Disease. She called Dr. Culp who met them at the office on Sunday afternoon at no charge.
I am sure Dr. Culp touched innumerable lives in similar ways. My deepest condolences to Janice, Alex, and Charlie. Rock Hill will miss him, too.

Bill's spirit of fun and adventure were infectious! When he began his practice, we took our two young sons to him. The younger son was barely three & that was his first visit to a dentist.

After having a "water fight" with them, blowing air into their hair, etc while explaining what all those strange gadgets were for, neither boy feared Dr. Culp or his tools. The younger son would beg to sit on my lap so he could watch Dr. Culp work on my teeth. Ever patient, Dr. Culp would let Griff, thinking perhaps he would want to pursue dentistry. Griff did not but learned so much about a fascinating subject and the character of a man to emulate.

I am shocked!!! Dr. Culp was the best dentist in the world. He was always loving and kind, patient and understanding and truly cared about his patients. I am heart broken to hear this as I have always felt there was no one else like him . He always had a kind word and a smile... he loved his boys and wife and spoke of them often and how they were doing. Truly a great loss to the community to all of us who knew him... My heart goes out to the family during this difficult time. Prayers for each of you....

So sorry to hear of Bills passing. I grew up with him and family at Oakland Pres. My mom and his dad were classmates at WTS.Always tough to lose a fellow KA brother too soon. RIP

My heart is broken. So saddened to hear of Dr. Culp's passing. He was the most caring and compassionate dentist. I always knew he would do what was best for me and my children. We thought so highly of him and trusted him so much. He will never be forgotten. Covering Janice, Charlie, and Alex with prayers in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Hugs and prayers for his wonderful office staff.

I am so sorry for your loss. Bill was a great friend of mine at Clemson. He was a pleasure to be around, he was kind, and he worked harder than anyone I knew! It was my good fortune that our paths crossed at Clemson. We lost touch after college, but I will always remember Bill, and the memories of Bill from Clemson were all good. He will be missed.
God be with you at this difficult time.
