    Bill, you will be missed by the Kansas City Fire Dept. personnel. It isn’t until people have passed that we realize what a blessing they were in our life because of the void we now have in our hearts. Those who truly took the time to get to know Bill understood his desire to do what was right and how deeply he cared for his family. My deepest sympathy to his family and may the peace of God which is beyond understanding comfort you doring your time of loss. God Bless!

    Can’t say enough good things about Bill. I worked side by side with him for over 12 years and he was the finest Supervisor a person could work with/for. Always caring and concerned for the people around him and striving each day to do the ‘right’ thing for all. And, yes skip the computer, he could work wonders with a Big Chief tablet and a pencil. He made the ‘Shop’ a great place to work. He will be sorely missed by his ‘City Family’ as well as his own close family.

    To the family of Bill, We were very lucky having Bill as a neighbor. When it snowed he came with his tractor and blade and cleared our driveway. After a storm left a tree limb on our house he showed up with a tractor and chainsaw to help. We also miss him at our Sarurday morning breakfast. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Dear Bruce and Brent, I just found out about the passing of your Dad while at church speaking to his neighbor Larry Higgins. I am so sorry to hear this. We know however that as believers, we will see him again! He was a great man, kind and considerate. I enjoyed hearing his stories. I remember him working at Dart truck company. The last time I saw him, he was mowing the parkway off of Paseo Blvd at around 55th Street, that was several years ago.



  16. Jania Elmer on February 10, 2019 at 6:08 pm

    Dear Bruce and Brent and family, What can we say other than we are in shock… We hadn’t spoken with your dad for several months, I picked up my phone today to give him a call just to check in with him and to see how life has been treating him. To my surprise, his number was not a working number. For some reason, in my heart I knew he was gone… I looked up his name and my heart came crashing to a halt. Let’s just say, your dad was such a wonderful and amazing man, and a friend to myself and my husband. He was the truest example of how a man should live his life… always family first! He spoke very fondly of his children and grandchildren. He was very proud of all of your accomplishments! He loved showing us his tractors and loved even more that he was able to share his love with the grandkids. What a treasure you had in a dad, grandpa! His legacy of friendship, is truly one that will be hard to live up to. With a saddened heart, Jania and Terry Elmer.

    Oh my, I just saw that Bill passed away a year ago. I am so sad. He was such a great friend and one of the best human beings I have ever had the pleasure to have known. Donna was a neighbor and Bill and Donna baby sat me when I was little. In the late 70’s through the mid 80’s we became very close as we worked together in the maintenance department at Kenworth in Kansas City. He will be missed 🙁
