Bill Royd Hulvey, age 68, of Calhoun, Missouri passed away peacefully after a brave battle with brain cancer on Monday, December 7, 2009 at his home.

Bill was born in Wichita, Kansas and grew up in Augusta, Kansas.

Bill was multi talented. He could fix anything, make anything or do anything. He was interested in everything. His quick wit and happy sense of humor brought a smile and laugh to all that knew him.


Bill worked at Beech Aircraft, owned his own motorcycle shop in the 1970's, and worked in the floor covering business. In 1988 Bill moved to Palm Beach County, Florida and worked in a boatyard. While in Florida he met and married his wife Marsha.
They were a team for 19 years until his death. Together they owned a gift shop in Florida and a tea room in Augusta, Kansas. They moved to Calhoun, Missouri in 2004 where Bill enjoyed making trails through his woods and working on the house. In their short time in Calhoun, Bill and Marsha enjoyed their many friends and their church family at Drakes Chapel.

He was preceded in death by his father, Roy Hulvey, and his sister Gina Silor.

Bill is survived by his wife Marsha; daughter, Donna Stewart and husband Ladd, of Augusta, Kansas; daughter, Kathy Gann and husband Greg, of Wichita, Kansas; stepson Kalynn Campbell and wife Frances, of Los Angeles, California; and stepson, Michael Campbell and wife Amy, of Tallahassee, Florida; and three granchildren, Aaron and Daniel Stewart, and Amanda Campbell; his mother Dorothy Hulvey and his sister Linda Metsker and husband Dean.
