PAUL (BILL) DEAN
MYERS
Paul
Dean Myers entered this world on
November 25, 1929 to his parents, Paul and Geraldine Hays Myers in Taylor County, Iowa. He departed this world on
February 24, 2002, at the age of 72 years and three months.
Except
for the time he served in the Army, Paul lived in the Blockton area. On March 24, 1955, he was inducted into
the United States Army. He was honorably discharged on March 26, 1957.
While
working construction in 1957, Bill met and wed Marcella Gray.
They later divorced but were blessed with three daughters, Charlotte,
Charlene and Darlene.
Bill, also known by some as "Footspeed"
never met a stranger. Maybe that is why he liked to repair vehicles, work
construction or drive an 18-wheeler. He could tell stories about dancing at the
169 Club in Caldwells; out running the cops with Lloyd Smith; the mountain
oyster fries that the Legion men held and the fish he caught in the Platte
River. When mushroom hunting season started, Bill was the first one to have a mushroom.
Due
to declining health the last several years, Bill was limited to spending time with his family;
playing with and loving his dogs; riding his 4-wheeler and having a "cold
one with his friends".
Passing
before Bill was his father, Paul
Myers; mother, Geraldine
Weaver; and his two half
brothers, Gerald and Ed Jennings.
Left
to cherish his memories are his three daughter [s], Charlotte and husband Jim Pearce of Blockton; Charlene and husband, Keith Pearce of Osceola; and Darlene Myers and Doyle Fry of Creston; his five pride and joy grandchildren, Mike, Lee, Greg, Mark and Shondel Pearce; half brother, Frances (Goph) Jennings; and sister-in-law, Donna Jennings, as well as many friends.'
Funeral
services were held at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, February 27, 2002, at the
Prugh-Dunfee Funeral Home in Grant City, MO, with Rev. Scott Marcum
officiating. Military Rites were held by Blockton American Legion, Post #443.
