Bill was born July 25, 1910 in Brookfield, MO. He graduated from Monticello High School in 1929 and Gem City Business College, Quincy, IL in 1931. He moved to Kansas City, MO in 1933 to accept a position as accountant with the Army Corps of Engineers. He transferred to the Veteran's Administration in 1947 and worked there until his retirement from Government service in 1965. After a brief period of retirement he went to work for National Alfalfa Dehydrating and Milling Company in charge of their Accounts Payable and Payroll departments until his final retirement in 1978.
Bill served in the U.S. Army during World War II and was stationed in the South Pacific with the 41st Station Hospital in Iwo Jima. He was a member of the Disabled American Veterans, Veterans of Foreign Wars Santa Fe Trail Post 846 and NARFE 1162 (National Association of Retired Federal Employees) of Overland Park, KS. He was a member of St. Agnes Catholic Church and a former member of the John Roe Council of the Knights of Columbus.
Bill was preceded in death by his parents, Oscar and May Reiter and sister, Alice Hinkle of Canton, MO and his wife, Celestine who he married on March 2, 1940. He is survived by his daughter, Pam Molnar of Prairie Village, KS; his three grandsons, Jason Molnar of the home, Matty Molnar of Overland Park, Richard Molnar of Prairie Village; and his beloved canine companion, Tammy, also of the home.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to the Bishop Miege Capital Campaign, Heart of America Humane Society, St. Agnes Catholic Church or a charity of your choice.
"He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much.. who has never lacked appreciation of Earth's beauty or failed to express it; who has always looked for the best in others and given them the best he had; whose life was an inspiration whose memory a benediction." Your life, your laughter, your love and your music will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know you.
