William (Bill) Richard Burns, age 61, of Salisbury, Missouri, died Friday, August 19, 1995 at the Boone Hospital Center in Columbia, Missouri after a brief battle with cancer.
Bill was born October 8, 1933 near Siam, Iowa, the son of Max Clary Bums and Fem Claris Tribolet.
He attended schools in the Bedford and Council Bluffs, Iowa areas, graduating from Underwood High School in 1951. He immediately enlisted in the United States Navy and served assignments in California and Hawaii.
Following his discharge from the Navy in 1954, he enrolled at Northwest Missouri State University in Maryville, Missouri, where he completed advanced degrees in Education. He was married on May 23, 1959 to Donna Rae Akers of Gravity, Iowa. To this union were born four children. Following his graduation, he held teaching and coaching positions in Missouri and Iowa schools. Thirteen years of his career (1975-1989) were spent serving as the Junior High and Elementary School Principal in the Bedford Community Schools. In 1990 he moved to Huntsville, Missouri, where he was employed as Middle School Principal for the Westran School District, a position he held until the time of his death.
Bill was baptized as a young adult. He became a member of the Missionary Church in Bedford, Iowa in 1967, where he served as Sunday School Superintendent and Church Board Member. Most recently, he was a member of the Assembly of God Church in Maryville, Missouri.
Bill enjoyed people. He looked forward to family reunions and especially cherished time spent with his grandchildren. He also took pride in the success and accomplishments of his students.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Fem, and by loving grandparents John and Myrtle Tribolet and Newton and Norma Bums, all residents of Taylor County.
