William Colhoun Motter, III

Will was born on January 25th, 1941 in Houston TX. At the age of 5 he moved with his parents to St. Paul, MN. He was a graduate of St. Paul Academy and Union College. Will became a Kansas City resident in 1967 when he married Rozzie Hargis.

A beloved husband, father and grandfather, Will had such great love and devotion for his family and friends. "A gentleman of impeccable integrity", he loved his fifty years in the insurance business, his golf games, his home, and his family days spent at hockey games, tennis tournaments and on the beach.

His gentle, kind smile, his "thumbs up" expression and his outreached hand expressed Will's heartfelt gratitude for the many kindnesses to him, particularly when he needed a little extra help. Will was a blessing to all who knew him.

Will was preceded in death by his parents, Ellen Gorham Motter and William C. Motter, II. He is survived by his wife, Rozzie; his daughter, Helen Bowers; his son, William C. Motter, IV; his daughter-in-law, Jaime Motter; and his grandchildren, Mary Ellis and Davis Motter.

Mass of Christian Burial will be held on Friday, July 16th at 2:00 p.m. at Visitation Church, 5141 Main, KCMO. A private family committal will follow in Forest Hill/Calvary Cemetery.
