Ricky Hale, 72, of St. Joseph, Missouri, passed away peacefully on December 1, 2020. 

He was born March 3, 1948 in St. Joseph, MO, son of Leona Hale. After an unfortunate car accident when he was only 18 that left him handicapped, he was cared for at home by his mother until she was no longer able to care for him. He then went into a nursing home, where he brought a smile to everyone’s face who came in contact with him! 

Ricky was preceded in death by his parents and brother Bob L. Hale. 

Survivors include sister Debby Perry, and sister-in-law (and best buddy) Sandie Hale, both of St. Joseph, MO; niece Tammi Hale of St. Joseph, MO, nephew Jeff (Irene) Hale of Hamilton, NJ, niece Heather (Doug) Richmond of Weatherby Lake, MO, extended family and many supportive friends and caregivers. 

Ricky was an amazing artist before the accident and would draw unique characters that he then would freehand onto t-shirts and sweatshirts. He always loved music of all genres and would sing along with family and caretakers, especially Rockin Robin. He was competitive and enjoyed winning at playing cards, bingo and any other board games. He loved to flirt with all the ladies - and would bat his eyes at his nurses and caretakers to get whatever he wanted, which normally included chocolate pudding! 

Ricky’s Celebration of Life will be held on December 5, 2020 at 1:00 pm at Rupp Funeral Home. Masked family and friends are welcome to attend. Graveside will follow at Memorial Park Cemetery. Online condolence, obituary and livestream - www.ruppfuneral.com.

Allen Lee Thompson  1933 - 2020

Earl Sanford Carver went to be with the Lord on November 27, 2020 at the Hiawatha Community Hospital at the young age of 93.&nbsp; 

Earl was born in El Dorado Springs, MO, April 30, 1927 to John (Fred) and Myrtle Ella McAlexander Carver. In 1936 his family moved to Kansas where he attended schools in Morrill, Kansas. He was a member of the United States Army serving during WWII.

Earl married Lucille Grote, which involved taking on the raising of his stepson Rolland Grote Jr. To this union two children were born, Barbara Carver and Ken Carver. They divorced after 25 years of marriage. While attending a “Parents without Partners” meeting Earl met according to him ‘the love of his life’ "JoEllen Bartley". They dated for several years. One Saturday they had decided to go shopping, while at the mall they wondered into a jewelry store at which time Jo joked with him about when are you going to buy me a ring? He stated "I thought about it then decided heck why not." They were married on September 16, 1989. They spent all their married life in Hiawatha. Traveling, woodworking projects, time with family and spending time with his grandchildren was his passion. JoEllen preceded Earl in death in November 2017.

Earl was a hard-working man. He spent his younger years working in construction building homes. In 1973 he started working at Mid America Dairy in Sabetha as a welder. He retired in 1989. Earl stated to his family it was at this time his life really began. He always had some type of project in progress. From remodeling kitchens to helping his grandkids build something out of scrap lumber his abilities were exceptional. He also enjoyed his flower gardens over the years. Even when he was unable to get up and down to care for his flowers a good friend built him a raised garden so that he could care for while standing. Plants, whether inside or out, were a big part of his life up until he was hospitalized.

In the early 1990’s Earl became known as the “Bike Man” He started with fixing tires then on to refurbishing bikes and finally built several unique bikes from scratch. It was not odd to have kids come to the door at all times of the day/night to have Earl fix their bike or to work out a deal for a different bike Earl may have put out front for sale. He had the kindest heart just wanting to see the joy on a child’s face as they rode away.

As it became harder for him to work on bikes or larger projects. He enjoyed taking care of his plants and feeding the livestock. (Squirrels and birds) He passed along this love to his great grandson, Carter Jante.&nbsp; They spent lots of time looking out the window talking about the birds etc. If you were lucky you might even see him going for a ride on his scooter checking out the work being done by the city on the streets.

Earl was also preceded in his parents, grandson Scott Carver, brothers: Elden Carver, Melvin Fortney, sisters Leoma Mullins, Ladene Arellanes, and Estelene Frey.

He is survived by his stepson Rolland (Jan) Grote Jr. of Hawley, PA, Daughter Barbara Carver and a son Ken Carver of Topeka, KS, Stepson Kenneth (Dawn) Stephens of Hiawatha; grandchildren: Jessica Persons, Silver Lake, KS, Derek Stephens and Althea Jante (Colton) of Hiawatha; great-grandchildren: Kora and Adalyn Persons, Nathanial (Gabrielle) Carver and Carter Jante; great-great-grandson Maveryck Carver.&nbsp; Also surviving are his sister Maxine Mira, Ridgecrest, CA, brother in law Jim (Leslie) Bartley, Horton, KS, sister in law Carol (James) Thiesing, Mt. Pleasant, SC.

Friends may call at Chapel Oaks Funeral Home from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Tuesday, and until noon Wednesday.&nbsp; Private family graveside service will be held at Mt. Hope Cemetery, Hiawatha.&nbsp; Tony French will officiate,&nbsp;

Memorial contributions are suggested to the Hiawatha Community Hospital, sent in care of the funeral home, 124 S 7th&nbsp;St., 66434.
