Obituary
William “Bill” Herbert Moehle, aged 83, passed away on November 5, 2024, in Lee’s Summit, MO. Born in New Franklin, MO on July 12, 1941, Bill grew up in the Kansas City area. He graduated from Southeast High School and furthered his education at Kansas City Community College, followed by studies at the University of Missouri and University of Kansas. He joined the IBEW Local Union 124 in 1965, where he worked as an electrician until his retirement in 2003. Beyond his career, Bill was skilled in locksmithing and small engine repair. After retirement, he continued to contribute to the community by building and managing several office complexes in the Lee’s Summit area.
Bill attended The Summit Church in Lee’s Summit, and lived his faith through service. In his youth, he was deeply involved in the Boy Scouts of America as an Eagle Scout and a member of the Tribe of the Mic-O-Say. His commitment to community service extended through his long-standing memberships in the Sunrise Rotary Club and the Kiwanis Club of Lee’s Summit. You could often find him serving his community at local events and festivals.
Bill’s favorite pastime was spending time with his beloved men’s coffee group, affectionately known as the Lee’s Summit Senate, and enjoying family dinners with his children and grandchildren.
He is survived by his son Mike Moehle and wife Kim; his daughter, Julie Ruehling and husband Ken; and grandchildren Luke and Mati Moehle, Kendall Ruehling and Karson Ruehling, as well as extended family. He was preceded in death by his parents, Herbert and Ida Louise Moehle and sister, Betty DeWitt.

Sorry for your loss Bill was a very important part in the in the Summit Senate even had a plaque made that we sit on the table. He also did some work in my garage as an electrician. He was very funny and a very private man. He was very nice and well liked man.
We are so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. We know he was a great man by the amazing son he raised. Our deepest sympathies to all of you and may knowing he is with his King now , bring peace to your hearts and minds. All our love.
Bill was a tremendous neighbor. Bill will be missed. RIP!
Bill was my Neighbor, across the street, for many years. We shared a lot of meals as he was a long time member of “The Westwind Potluck Group” I remember him building his own color TV and Electric Organ. Every endeavor he attempted was always well done. I prevailed upon him many times for answers to electrical questions. Our birthdays were only one day apart. I will miss his friendship, however he knows i’m not far behind joining him. Well done Ol’Man.
Mike, Kim and family: May the Lord give you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow. Bill was a great friend. He was my landlord, a good client, and a foil for all of my comments on life. I was his “brass band.” He was responsible for my membership in the Lee’s Summit Senate (All Talk; No Action!) Bill will be greatly missed and always remembered.
