Orville Williams Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jun. 6, 2014.

Orville (Crocky) Williams, 84, passed away on June 6, 2014. He passed peacefully at home with family by his side. He was a devoted family man and will be missed by family and friends. Crocky was a lifelong resident of the Northland. He enjoyed a 36 year career at TWA and was a 40+ year member of the Northland Elks Lodge #2376, where he contributed to many charitable events. He was a proud member of the US Marines. One of his largest pleasures in life was joking with his grandkids.

He is survived by Marcia, his wife of 61 years; his 3 children, Dennis (wife Martha), Shelly (husband Kenny) and Mark; his brother, Benny (wife Judy); six grandchildren, Ryan, Tim, Sara, Molly, Michael, Zachary; three great grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.



Services will be held Tuesday at 11am on June 10th, 2014 at White Chapel Funeral Home, 6600 NE Antioch Rd., Gladstone, MO. Visitation will be 10am, with an Elks Memorial prior to the Funeral service. In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a charitable contribution to Northland Elks Lodge #2376, 7010 N. Cherry, Gladstone, MO, 64118.

Marsha and Dennis: Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Crocky was one of the most delightful men I have know. Always had a way to make you smile or laugh. He will be missed on this earth but I am sure he is tickling the funny bone of the big guy upstairs. God's peace be with you and your family. Marilee Kay
