Billy C. Peek was born in Marshall, North Carolina, on January 26, 1938, to Lockie and Ervin Peek. He passed away peacefully on January 21, 2023.

Surviving are his wife, Nancy, who shared 43 wonderful years with him; his daughter, Jennifer Davenport (Corey), Clinton, MO; grandchildren, Montana, Hayden, Addisyn, and Maci; and great-grandchildren Bentley Clay and Tinleigh Jean. He was the youngest of ten children; he had four brothers and five sisters. Surviving siblings are two sisters, Janette Dockery and Mafra Crisp, North Carolina, and many nephews and nieces.

His five Fox sisters-in-law and their husbands Sharon (Ron) Brandt, Penny Evertson, Vicky (George) Fugett, Patti (Jerre) Blankenship, and Liz (Randy) Canole, and brothers-in-law Buddy Martin (Sheila) and Kevin Martin and his very special mother-in-law Thelma Martin.

He is predeceased by his son, Clay Peek, sisters and brothers and their spouses: Wayne and Irene Peek, George and Janet Peek, Dallie and Everett Ingle, Nell and Ernest Wyatt, Maggie and Jasper Jenkins, Wade Crisp, Wesley Dockery, Chris and Clarie Peek, Jim and Helen Peek, and father-in-law Ray Martin and brother-in-law, Claude Evertson.

Bill was a caretaker to many including his brother, Chris, who he always said was like a father to him and his sister-in-law, Clarie, who lovingly called him Brother Billy. He often said he could not have done it without the help of his dear friend Genie Miller who he loved very much.

He had many, many Platte City friends as well as those he worked with over the years as an Ironworker Local 10. He never met a stranger.

Bill served in the US Marine Corps from February 1958-1960 before moving to Kansas City to join his older brother Chris. He became a Local 10 Ironworker in January 1963 and retired in March 1994. He was an excellent craftsman and fabricator. He was an instructor at the Local 10 apprenticeship program for several years and taught welding at Platte County Vo-Tech. He judged welding at the National Building Trades Competition at Bartle Hall for several years as well. After he retired he started his own Mobile Welding business in 1994 he called Peek Mobile Welding. He retrofitted a moving van with his welder and any kind of tool he needed. There was many a farmer who was happy to see Old Yeller coming to the rescue. He worked until he had to have Old Yeller towed in. One of his many jobs in retirement was building a barge with Jimmy Fuller for DredgeAmerica.

He was a member of the VFW Post 4043 and the NRA. He was of Lutheran faith.

He was an avid motorcyclist and always had a dirt bike or two or three or a motorcycle of some kind. In 1982 he bought his first Harley and in 1992 Nancy bought her first Harley. Together they road thousands of miles and he could tell you every road traveled on and every restaurant where they ate. When they quit riding, his 1996 Road King was about to hit 100,000 miles. He always made new friends wherever he went on his many journeys. He had many adventures with his good friends Gary and Caralou Schmollinger and other Harley riders.

Before COVID hit, he could be found at Casey’s every morning at the same time with his good friend Ralph Stubbs. He had friends there and enjoyed talking to the regular morning customers, especially the school teachers. He really looked forward to the weekly Hump Day gatherings with friends for a couple beers and dinner and wanted to make sure he arrived by 6 p.m. sharp which did not always happen.

He was known by lots of people as an excellent cook. Many people have enjoyed his creamed corn he froze fresh from the garden and the fried apples he made. He was so proud of his home and family. He hosted hog roasts and many fish fries which would not have been possible without the help of fisherman Ron. He invented the DIY vacuum sealer.

He was also very proud of his occupation and talked often about how he used to climb columns or rode the headache ball to get to the floor they were working on. He often said you may not agree with unions but they are the reason you earn and have the benefits that you do.

He was the best story teller you would ever know. Some of his favorite stories were about where and how he grew up in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and his many hunting adventures in Colorado and Manitoba, Canada. His favorite story was the moose story.

A tribute to his life will be held at the Platte Purchase Building at the Platte County Fairgrounds on Saturday, January 28, 2023. Service at 2 p.m. immediately followed by a fish fry which all are invited to attend.

Cremation arranged by Hixson-Klein Funeral Home, Smithville, MO.

Ruth Marea Chambers 1931 - 2023

Daniel F. Miller was born on April 8, 1938, to Frank M. and Mary F. (Morrow) Miller at their home southwest of Bolckow, MO. The morning after an early spring snow storm, Frank fetched Doc Wilson in his car since he had snow chains, to deliver Dan. The second of their four children,&nbsp;Dan grew up a farm-boy with various beloved animals like his pet pig and Zoe the horse and three pesky (but also beloved) sisters.

During his teens, Dan worked for several neighbors as a farmhand, with particularly fond memories of working on John Lee’s short horn cattle farm. Dan enjoyed woodworking in Charlie Vest’s industrial arts class and basketball in high school as a Bolckow Bulldog. He graduated valedictorian in 1956 from a class of nine.&nbsp; Dan’s ambition in his Senior yearbook was to be a bachelor, but after serving 3 years in the U.S. Army at Ft. Leonard Wood, he married Karen K. Cox of Cawood, MO on January 16, 1965. Karen noticed Dan for the first time over the pie case at the Midway Truck Stop and, with a little help from both of their sisters, they dated. Dan and Karen moved to a cozy home in Bolckow in the summer of 1968, a few years after the birth of their daughter, Lenora. He was a devoted husband, father and son.

Working along-side his father Frank for many years, Dan was a self-employed carpenter in the Andrew County area for most of his life. &nbsp;He continued the carpentry business after his father retired, doing a wide-range of work from fencing, painting and roofing, to remodeling, building sheds, barns and houses, to electrical, plumbing and repair work for many people over the years. He also built cabinets, a skill he learned working at a carpentry shop in Mound City after he returned home from the Army.

As a young man, Dan enjoyed his cars. His first car was a 1949 Mercury he bought with the money he made working for John Lee, which he traded for a 1955 black Ford V8. The next two were Pontiacs:&nbsp; The 1957 that survived the June 1960 tornado which carried away the garage it was parked in and the sure-footed Pontiac he often talked about driving back from Ft. Leonard Wood with his friends one icy night.&nbsp;After he was out of the service, he purchased a 1959 Ford retractable hardtop.&nbsp;

Dan was an avid outdoorsman; bow and gun hunting, fishing and mushroom hunting in his spare time, or even just working outside in his yard in later years.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Daniel F. Miller died peacefully in his sleep on January 18, 2023, in the home where he lived happily with his wife Karen, until her death on May 22, 2014.&nbsp; He was also preceded in death by his parents and by several family members whom he also considered close friends, including his brother-in-law, Valdean Cox and two cousins, Dean and Donald Kennedy.&nbsp;

Dan is survived by his daughter Lenora Miller, and sisters Joyce Vaughn (Charles), Carol Stanton (Virgil) and Nancy Nelson (Ernest), his cousin and friend Ron Kennedy and numerous nieces and nephews.&nbsp; He was a hard-working, kind, good man and he will be missed by those who knew him.&nbsp;

The family will receive friends 5:00 - 7:00 PM, Thursday, January 26th at the Heaton-Bowman-Smith &amp; Sidenfaden Chapel.

A private family inurnment will be held at the Bolckow Cemetery at a later date.
