William Frederick Engelmeyer, Sr.

September 22, 1923 — September 7, 2018

William F. Engelmeyer, Sr., of St. Charles, Missouri, passed away on Friday September 7, 2018, at the age of 94.  Loving husband of the late Pauline Engelmeyer (nee Eberhardt); beloved son of the late William A. and Blanche Engelmeyer; devoted father of Donald (Maureen) Engelmeyer, Gerry (Sharon) Engelmeyer, Paul (Mary Scully) Engelmeyer, Raymond (the late Tomi) Engelmeyer, Clare (Geoffrey) Plott, Stephen (Eileen) Engelmeyer, Barbara (Mark) Ryan, Mary Engelmeyer Befort, Joan Engelmeyer, and the late William F. Engelmeyer, Jr.; cherished grandfather of William, Donald, Geoffrey, Natalie, Valerie, Kaegan, Erik, Luke, Jane, Bill, Robert, Elizabeth, Nora, Christopher, Nicholas, Alexander, Audrey and Marco; treasured great-grandfather of Victoria, Emma, Carter, Nolen, Addison, Will, Graham, Ryder, Tuesday, Marley, Frances Rose, Bennett, Rowan, Olive, Ruth, Maiya, Ryan, and Lucille; dear brother of Ralph (Carol) Engelmeyer, Grace (Gene) Porter, and the late Rosemary (Tom) Siburt, the late Martin (Fran) Engelmeyer, the late Lorraine and the late LaVerne Engelmeyer.

Bill proudly served in the U.S. Navy as a Seabee 2nd Class during WWII.  He retired after more than 44 years with Southwestern Bell as a Custom Design Engineer.  He owned a Christmas tree farm, and he looked forward to the winter season to see his favorite customers.

Bill was devoted to his wife, Pauline, who was his loving “Doll” for 65 years.  He was a faithful, lifelong Catholic and a member of the following parishes throughout his life; St. Philip Neri, Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Holy Cross, St. Mary’s, Christ The King, Sacred Heart in Troy, and St. Charles Borromeo.  He loved singing and sang loudly in the choir at Christ The King.

Bill loved heading outdoors to go hunting, and fishing at his lake in Troy, MO.   He enjoyed playing handball and racquetball with friends and co-workers.  As a vintner, he grew his prize grapes at his farm in Troy, and loved sharing his wine with family and friends.  He was a loving uncle, cousin, and friend to many.  He was dearly loved, and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.   RIP “Big Bad Bill.”

We would like to extend a special ‘Thank You’ to the staff at Mount Carmel and Heartland Hospice for their wonderful care of our Dad throughout the years.
