Lloyd  William “Bill” LaDoucieur, 77, of Independence, MO died Monday, September 2, 2019, at Centerpoint Hospital in Independence.  Bill was born April 22, 1942 in Kansas City, MO to Bennie and Ruth LaDoucieur.  He moved to Houston, TX for his job with Texaco before returning to the Kansas City area in 1997.  He is survived by his wife, Karen and their two dogs, Sasha and Willie; brother Jim (wife Betty) of Denver, CO; son David (wife Michelle) and two grand-daughters (Caroline and Ashley) of Sugar Land, TX; daughter Michelle  Pappas (husband Philip), two grand-sons (Jacob and Brandon) and grand-daughter (Jordan) of Cape Girardeau, MO.    

In his younger years, Bill loved to ski – both water ski and snow ski.  He also loved to camp and the great outdoors.  As he got older, he focused most of his time with his wife and their dogs (his “other” kids). His favorite time of year was the holidays when he was able to travel to the Lake of the Ozarks to spend time reminiscing and laughing with family and friends. 

At his request, no services will be held.  His family would like everyone to take time to pause and remember the great joys of life and cherish those you love.
