Billy Roger McCurry passed away May 12, 2019 at his home on Padre Island Corpus Christi, TX after a five-year struggle with Parkinson's. He was 71. Born January 21, 1948 in Walnut, KS to William K. McCurry and Ruth C. Gilliland, he was raised on the family dairy farm in rural Parsons. He attended Labette County High School graduating in 1966. Bill managed his father's Conoco station and later joined the local Fire Department until an injury forced him to retrain. He graduated from Labette Community College as an RN. This eventually led him to Kansas City, where he worked for the KC Health Department until retirement in 2012.
