It was his “job,” that he be there faithfully, to stock shelves and hand out food at the pantry. Bill never had an unkind word for anyone. You were blessed if you received a cheezy gift, a piece of candy, or a catalog in a white sack. Bill is survived by his sisters, Barbara Butterfield (Butch) and Peggy Corlee (Charles) 4 nephews and many great nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers the family suggest donations be made to the Salvation Army in Grandview: 6111 E. 129^th St., Grandview, MO 64030.
