This will include both those reported, plus the ones we have discovered.
Below are the obituaries known to the Association. If the obit was published in a CUB, the columns 'Vol', No', Mth/Yr' will indicate the issue of the CUB. 'Add' means not published in a CUB.

793Nov., 2023ADAMS, MILTON WAYNE106TH12/31/2022Milton W. Adams, 98, passed away peacefully on December 31, 2022, in Kansas City, MO, at Kingswood Senior Retirement Community. The son of Ola W. Adams and Ida E. Adams, Milton was born on August 18, 1924, in Kansas City, KS. He then lived in several places in Western and Central Missouri throughout his youth as his father pastored congregations of the Methodist Church in the Missouri West Conference. Milton was a World War II veteran and was in the Battle of the Bulge. Though he was initially trained in a tank battalion, he went overseas as part of the United States Army 106th Infantry, seeing action in Rhineland, Central Europe, Ardennes, and Northern France. After coming home from the war, his father encouraged him to attend a law school open house. He was immediately very interested and signed up for law school that day. He attended the University of Kansas City Law School and graduated on May 29, 1949, with his Bachelor of Laws. He then practiced in Kansas City with the firms of Aughenbaugh and Adams; Gordon, Adams, Niewald, Risjord and Waldeck; Gordon, Adams and Gordon; and The Law office of Milton W. Adams from approximately 1950 to 1990. At Central United Methodist Church, he met Mary Elizabeth Sneary, the soprano soloist and children's choir director. They married on October 19, 1951. They remained extremely involved in the life of the church the rest of their days. They were blessed with four children — Beth, Bob, Becky and Brad; then added grandchildren and great-grandchildren to their growing family. Milton remained a longtime member of Central United Methodist Church. He was active on committees, as a trustee, and in the Mather Class. He and Mary Elizabeth enjoyed writing and performing regular family night skits with a group of fellow church friends. He was always ready and willing to help Mary Elizabeth host the children and youth choirs for picnics and socials. Milton was instrumental in starting and sustaining Kingswood Senior Retirement Community. He enjoyed living there his last 20 years and getting to experience the results of all his efforts as they benefited so many other people. Milton was blessed to have several special women in his life. Several years after Mary Elizabeth passed in 1998 after a battle with cancer, he married Rosemary Peterson in 2000. Several years after Rosemary passed in 2019, he enjoyed a special relationship with Marion Cathcart, a new resident at Kingswood where he lived. Milton enjoyed several partnerships and business ventures throughout his years. His mind was always sharp, and he was interested in finding ways to improve situations around him Milton was a devoted Missouri Tiger fan both of football and basketball. He was always committed once spring came to the Kansas City Royals no matter their record. As a faithful father and grandfather, Milton always attended recitals, concerts, and sporting events, showing his support for spouse's, children's and grandchildren's activities. And he was always one to enjoy a good friendly joke and teasing. Milton especially loved summer family vacations in Colorado and his world-wide travel adventures with Mary Elizabeth, then with Rosemary. One of his greatest joys was golf. He learned the game at age 12, when he worked as a caddie. For most of his life, his love of the game continued, shooting his age three times in his 70s. In his senior years, he enjoyed splitting his time between his home in Kansas City and one in Arizona, where he welcomed family and friends and kept up his golf skills. Though the New Year will be without the Patriarch of the family, he lived 981/2 years, full of life experiences, sharing his love and wisdom and never losing his quick wit. https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/kansas-city-mo/milton-adams-11089405

802Jul., 2024ALBERT, ROY I.423/E2/9/2021I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow. I learn by going where I have to go. God bless the ground, for I shall walk softly there, and learn by going where I have to go. Roy Irving Albert passed away on February 9th, 2021, at the age of 96, surrounded by family. He was born in Norway, Michigan, where he spent his childhood years nurturing his love of nature in this bucolic setting. He would always reminisce about his days down on the river fishing and camping, as well as his time on the farm. He worked at his father’s one room grocery store for “one dollar a day” as a teen. Fate and World War II would collide for Roy at the young age of 18, where he would enter into the war, an event that would forever shape his life. He landed on Omaha Beach, crossed France, and was captured at Germany’s Blies River. He survived as a POW for 6 months, eventually returning home to Michigan to marry his beloved Marianne Hoener in 1946. They moved to Ann Arbor, where he entered into the Architecture program. At the University of Michigan, to pay their way, Marianne worked as a secretary; while he spent nights at the A & P, bussing tables at the Student Union; and together as “houseparents” at a girl’s rooming house, as well as ushers at Michigan Stadium. Roy worked initially with Buckminster Fuller on the geodesic dome and other projects. LIFE captured him at work on the dome, his second appearance in that magazine, with the first during his Ranger training. As his independent nature would inevitably dictate, he eventually branched out to establish his own architecture firm, working “for himself” on hundreds of projects throughout the years. His life was not, however, defined completely by his lovely design work. It was instead defined by his dedication to Marianne, his children, grandchildren, and recent great grandchild! His selfless love of neighbor and friends touched many untold lives. He shared his love of nature and gardening with his family and those around him, this love providing him a personal respite from his tragic memories of war. In the end, he would embrace humility, never wanting his life to be defined by his earthly accomplishments; but rather his generous, gentle personality which transcended through his smile.

762Jul., 2020ANDREWS, JOHN CRANE592/FABN/A12/22/2019“The recent copy of the Cub made me aware I’d not informed you of our loss of John Crane Andrews on December 22, 2019. He passed in Hospice after three years of failing memory and health. He was 94 years; we celebrated 68 years of marriage. John and I had a fine life together. Met and married in New Jersey where we had our first home and two boys. We moved to CA in 1951 where our third and last son was born. John was offered a position with his company to manage the Portland office and so we landed here on beautiful Oregon Beach, our Portland home. Our love of the outdoors led us to a small cabin on a man-made lake in WA. We all love fishing, sailing and hiking and hanging out at the end of a dirt road. When our boys married, we sold our home and did some traveling. Our last home was in Oregon, where I still live. Our children are all living within 10 miles of me. John and I enjoyed our six grandsons, one granddaughter. Now they, too, are married and we have five great-grands. Needless to say, I miss John, but am glad he is out of the pain of these last years. He never spoke much of his time in the Army. Once when asked, “Don’t you hate Germans?,” he replied, “No, they were just kids like us doing what their government ordered”. John was an honest, trustworthy, gentle man. I am proud to say our children are following his example”. Submitted by his wife, Patricia
