Karen Halley Has Passed Away.....

Karen L Halley (nee Forister) was called by God to take a walk on the stairway to Heaven on Saturday, March 11, 2023 at 9:24am after her extensive battle with cancer. Karen was preceded on her walk by her father, Robert E Forister. Karen waits for others left to continue their paths on Earth. She was the loving wife of Michael (Mike) Halley, cherished daughter of Jacqueline Forister (nee Tappel), sisters Mary Kay Hermeyer (Rick), Pamela Kelley (Kevin), brother Robert Forister Jr (Kim). Karen was the devoted mother of son Jimmy Nix Jr, daughter Jaime Smith, son Cory Nix, Grandmother of Cory Nix Jr, Libby Nix, Liam Nix, Addy Nix, Erin Hannon, Marty Smith, Lexi Nix, Austin Nix. Karen was also stepmother to Crystal Hicks (nee Halley) and several more grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. Karen now has her wings and there's a new angel and a bright new star in Heaven.

 Karen loved her life with Mike and all the great friends she made. She always made people smile and everyone loved her warm and caring heart. It’s not the years in the life that matter, it’s the life in the years, and Karen’s life with Mike was filled with joy, fun, family, friends and excitement. She loved the river life Mike introduced her to, and even bought her own boat. Karen was affectionately given the nickname of "Minnie" by her river friends, due to the high pitch of her voice when she was having fun. She had a special drink at the Yacht Club where we'd always get lunch or dinner when at our boat. Her drink has been named for her in her honor at the club and will now be called the "Minnie", a Malibu and water with a splash of cranberry. When at "The Yacht Club Of St Louis" ask for a "Minnie" in her honor. Karen loved working out to stay fit, and doing yoga with her yoga buddies, and going to breakfast afterward with a few of them. She really loved going to Yoga and talked highly of her instructor, Dawn, and the many different workouts she came up with. Karen will be missed by many and was loved by even more and will never be forgotten. With all our love our sweet angel, until we see you again when we take that walk on the stairway to Heaven.

Arrangements for Karen Halley will be at St Charles Memorial Gardens / Baue at 3950 West Clay near Cave Springs Rd in St Charles, MO. Visitation will be on Saturday, March 25th from 10:30am to 11:30am with a service immediately following, 11:30am to 12:30pm. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

Mike and Karen Halley hail out of the "Yacht Club of St Louis" in the boat "Over Exposed".

Memorials can be made in Karen Halley's name to the “Karen Weidinger Foundation” @ https://karensfoundation.org to help fight cancer.

He attended St. Charles High School, then The University of Missouri Columbia where he majored in journalism. Bob was a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army and was a paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne, Ft. Bragg, NC. Some have theorized that jumping out of planes may have contributed to his short stature.

Bob and Peggy were married in 1955 & lived in Houston for a few years before moving back to St. Charles.

Bob loved music and loved to sing. Early on, he was active in the First Baptist Church and directed the youth choir. Later in life he joined Borromeo, sang in their choir and taught music to the Vacation Bible School kiddos. Bob also sang with the St. Charles Choral Society.

John R. Bicknese, of Saint Charles, Missouri, passed away Monday, August 3, 2020 at the age of 66. Beloved son of the late Edwin and Eleanor Bicknese; dear father of Randy (Diane) Bicknese and Annette Bicknese; loving grandfather of Hayden Bicknese; dearest brother of Joni Bicknese, Janet Bicknese, Jackie (Randy) Melin, Jim Bicknese; the late Jerry Bicknese, the late Joyce Slouha and the late Jean Feuss.

John worked as a marine mechanic and owned Little John’s Marine Service for more than 45 years. He loved boating and his true passion was racing drag boats. He traveled throughout Missouri and Kentucky for races, and he was a member of the Kentucky Drag Boat Association. He always looked forward to hanging out with the gang from the Con Trios Yacht Club, where he was also a member.

John never knew a stranger, it seemed anywhere he went he was bound to run into someone he knew. He had a great heart and would do anything to help his friends. He was also a great handyman and a jack-of-all-trades who could fix just about anything he put his hands on.

John will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Remembering Ron!
Ron was one of my first acquaintances and friend in 1994 at the time I first became a DCYC member.
I know in the archives of my pictures and memories there are many good times to be embraced, cherished and forever remembered. One especially memorable experiences was a Fourth of July three day round trip excursion to the St. Louis Arch around 1996 and many more good times followed. Ron in his boating prime was a rambunctious and extra ordinary lover of the river and his friends within our river community. He was a member of DCYC and CTYC. I can attest to the fact that he revered his affiliation with these organizations. I recall on many occasions Ron to be lively and boldly expressive. All an expression of his love for life and the good times he held dear with the people near and dear to him! I'll remember Ron to be full of life and a smile we'll always cherious.
Ron, you'll be missed But forever remembered!

Sincerely!
Alan Deutschmann, "Sound of Pleasure" DCYC

     Gerald "Jerry" Simon has passed away



​Dear RiverBill,

I'm requesting your assistance in helping to spread the Visitation and Funeral Arrangements on RiverBills for my Dad, Gerald "Jerry" Simon, who passed away this past Saturday, July 5th.

Known as Jerry, "the Mechanic", in the boating community. Dad was a lifetime marine mechanic in the area for 50+ years, having started at the Family Marina/Venetian Harbor, as a child. He completed his first valve job at the young age of 16. He was a lifelong river friend and a book of mechanical knowledge on boat motors, generators and electrical components. He was also a trusted advisor on boat issues to many area boaters. He, alongside his father, William, and brother, Kenneth, started Venetian Harbor on the family farm ground in Portage Des Sioux, MO during the 1940's. Dad was instrumental in making it one of the premier full-service marinas on the Alton Pool during the boating boom of the 60's & 70's. Although ownership left the family in 1969, Dad continued working at Venetian Harbor as a mechanic after having served in the United States Coast Guard. He later left after purchasing Portage Repair Service in Portage Des Sioux, acting as owner and auto/boat mechanic. After selling his business to Mark Warner, he became the general manager/head mechanic for Anchor Marine of St. Louis, Ltd. (Known now as Port Charles Harbor) under the ownership of Tom & Marilyn Kirgin. After the business was sold in the late 90's, Dad opened and operated Marine Technology near his home in Portage Des Sioux until cancer caused his health to fail, forcing him to close the business last fall. I had the pleasure of working alongside Dad the past 4-5 years in the local marinas and meeting many wonderful fellow boaters. He will be missed by many.

I have attached a link for the visitation arrangements at Baue Funeral Home on Jefferson St. in St. Charles on July 8th & funeral/burial at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church and Cemetery in Portage Des Sioux on July 9th. I've also attached a few pics of Dad. I truly appreciate your help in notifying our fellow boaters and friends of his passing. Thank you, RiverBills!

Sincerely,

William "Bill" Simon

     Jean Dorshorst has passed



Bill,

Although I have not been on the river over the past year, I hope to return soon. I would, however, like to let my river friends know of the passing of my beloved mother, Jean Dorshorst, who became a "river rat" on her visits here to St. Louis on the J-Crew. She was always excited to come during boating season over the many years, being a member of the crew for both the "Teresa J" and the "J-Crew". She loved being on the water!

Mom passed away peacefully at the age of 83 years young. It was a very unexpected passing and we are truly devastated by her loss. My mother has generously donated her body to science in the hope of helping her family and anyone who may battle the disease of Lupus. A Memorial Gathering and Service will be held on March 29th at Ziegenhein & Sons Funeral Home, 4830 Lemay Ferry Road, St. Louis, 63129 from 9 a.m. until noon. Donations may be made in her honor to the Lupus Foundation, Gateway Chapter, St. Louis.

To my boating friends who have called and written, thank you for your sympathy and outpouring of support. It has been genuinely appreciated.

Teresa Dorlac-Dorshorst

     Kathleen Ann Lundeen Flippo, 4/1/42 - 3/11/14

     Author of "Tow Takin"



Kathleen (Kathy) Ann Lundeen made her entrance into this world 4/1/42 on Beaver Island to her proud parents, Florence Carlson and Adrian Charles Lundeen. Starting her life on Beaver Island turned out to set the precedence to what she became passionate about: Life on the Mississippi River and all it encompassed. Born a River Rat, Kathy enjoyed all that the river had to offer from hunting, fishing and trapping, to canoeing through the back waters, to taking pictures of wildlife and river traffic. Her love of the River culminated with her marriage to W.P. (Pat) Flippo in 1981 that set her adventure for the River as the wife of a tow boat captain.

 

During high school, Kathy kept to her roots by working her summers and holidays at Sportsman Exchange in Clinton.  After graduating from Clinton HS, Class of 1960, she attended Minnesota Bible College in Minneapolis and worked at Dayton’s.  From there she came back to Clinton and worked at the Clinton Telephone Company where she later met her husband, Bob Keding, and in 1968 packed her bags to follow him to his new job in Denver CO where their first daughter, Kjersten, was born a year later

 

 

 

Kathy was a contributor to RiverBills in the early days of the website. She sent us pictures and news reports from the Clinton, Iowa area, she was an outspoken person about things on the river and was a wealth of river information.  Kathy always gave me a hard time because I would vacation in sunny Jamaica instead of going someplace nice and cold.

 

I never met Kathy in person, but she became a good internet friend of mine.

 

We will miss you Kathy !

    Kenneth W. Simon  Has Passed Away

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Dear RiverBill,

I'm asking for your assistance in helping to spread the Funeral Arrangements on RiverBills for my Uncle, Kenneth W. Simon who passed away on Labor Day.

Most knew him as "Kenny" or "Ken". He was a Lifetime Boater in the area, a model Boat Enthusiast, a Longtime River Friend to Many, and a walking World Book of Knowledge on Boating, Parts & Boats in General. He, along with his Father & Brother, started Venetian Harbor on the family farm ground in Portage Des Sioux, MO in the 1940's and was instrumental in making it one of the premier Full-Service Marinas in the Alton Pool during the Boating Boom of the 60's & 70's. Although Ownership left the family in 1969, Kenny continued working at Venetian. He left there for several years to manage Two Rivers Marina in Louisiana, MO all while continuing to live & boat in the local area. He returned to manage Universal Marine Corporation, which was a Wholesale Boat Part Warehouse business within Venetian Harbor, for many years during the 80's & early 90's. He then worked in the Parts Division at St. Charles Boat & Motor until his retirement. He mostly boated out of Venetian Harbor & Woodland Marina in their boats named "Nauti-K". I've attached a link for the funeral arrangements at Baue Funeral Home & St. Cletus Catholic Church. I've also attached a few pics from my last boat ride with him and my father on September 30th, 2010 in his final boat, a 55' Chris Craft Roamer named "Nauti-K", when we took a short sea trial/test ride out of Woodland. There is also 1 pic of some of his boats from over his boating filled life. He later sold this boat, just earlier this year, at the young age of 80. I very much appreciate your help in notifying his fellow Boaters & Friends of his Passing on behalf of his family and my father, Gerald "Jerry" Simon, who is another lifetime river mechanic in the boating community. Thank you RiverBills!

Sincerely,
William "Bill" Simon

    Captain Larry Walker 1951 - 2010........

 

 

Good Morning Bill,

We just received some tragic news from the high seas in the British Virgin Islands. Jan and Joe are vacationing with Captain Larry Walker and other friends in the British Virgin Islands.

 

Yesterday morning, Captain Larry Walker suffered a massive heart attack while diving. Despite all efforts, they were unable to revive him. In Joe and Jan's absence, I am trying to make sure everyone knows and you were the first person I thought of. I know he was a beloved friend of many boaters on the river.

 

Jan and Joe are working with the British Embassy to return Larry home to Oriental, North Carolina. In the meantime, I thought it would be helpful for you to have the attached a link to the Town Dock - the local paper in Oriental, North Carolina, Larry's home town.

When I receive more news from Joe and Jan, I will let you know.

Your time does not accumulate; it is consumed. Foregoing an opportunity to participate in something is a permanent loss for which there is no ‘do over.‘”

My friend Pat and a note of gratitude for Thanksgiving

 

We all go through life and hopefully have the opportunity to carve out some friendships that we hold dear and near to our hearts. The inter-circle of friends, the top of the list, the ones you look forward to being with and go on vacations with. The type of friend you call when you have great news and sad news to share. The reason why I bring this up to you is because I recently lost such a friend. His name was Pat.

I first met Pat nearly 30 years ago when I first started in the coin-op industry full-time after finishing college. He was one of those game room operators that popped up in the early 80's. He later got out of the business, but from the moment I met Pat he and I became best of friends. Pat went on to do a handful of careers since then that included insurance, teaching, truck driving, and industrial sales. Whatever he was doing he made the best of it and always had a great attitude.

Pat was one of those guys that once he walked in to the room the whole room lit up and everyone couldn't but have a great attitude. He had an infectious smile, a bolstering laugh, and always had a story to share. Pat had the ability to put anyone at ease and often made himself the brunt of his jokes. He loved to give everyone a nickname and it was a clear sign that should you be awarded of such a name that he really liked you.

Pat was out delivering a drum of product off to one of his customers a little over a week ago and fell over from a fatal heart attack. He left behind a great lady (his wife Bev) and two grown kids that looked up to their dad with great respect and love. Yes, it was sudden. No signs. It was just his time.

He worked hard, but was a man of leisure. He loved camping and in his later years really took to boating. Living in Illinois near St. Louis, he had a nice boat that kept on the Mississippi. Both Bev and Pat loved to spend all of their free time on the boat together. It was a way of life for them and I'm not sure they spent a single weekend at home this entire past boating season.

I share this at our time of Thanksgiving, because I am ever so grateful to have had Pat in my life. He was one of the most important people to me and this was the first time I had lost someone from my inner-circle (other than a family member). I often find myself in moments of deep sadness and know that this will pass. I need to enjoy this moment and forever keep it in my heart. What is amazing is that it had not been for this crazy industry, I would have never met Pat...

    Sandi Hampel passed away Friday
 

Bill,

Sandi Hampel passed away Friday. She was a dear friend of mine and her and her husband has been on the river forever. I don’t know about the arrangements and I know the family is very private about such matter however, I must let everyone know what she meant to me. All the painting on the wall at Cedar Hill was done by Sandi Hampel.





Dear Sandi,

You will never know how if feel about you. You always made us feel great, the first time I was at Lake Center at the big Labor Day party you came up when we knew no one and made us feel welcome. You for the first women that spoke to me when we all anchor out in mason shut. You are the first to show my son boobs. He is 28 today and still talks about how good they are and you gave him peso in Mexico. We anchored out and laughed and laughed. We have road tripped and laughed and laughed. You taught me how to dit’s on a boat. You just move stuff around. You gave me a great dance partner at the lake that everyone talked about the next day, then we won Sloppy Joe’s. Image that. You taught me how to dress the way I feel. Always good and gaudy. But you always pulled it off so much better than me. I can never tell you how much I loved you, how much I respected you. How much I wanted to be like you. How good a friend you were. God broke the mold when he made you. There will never be a more kind and loving person on this earth. May you Rest in peace. You will be missed every day.

LARRY MAHR
Lost his the battle with prostate cancer this morning.
Larry loved the river and everyone on it. As his sister I called him the river rat
He started with a little bass boat he named the fishermarina cramming his
now past parents, wife , and 5 kids and me. To cruise and fish the old Mississippi.
We looked like refugee's all cramed in there crossing the might banks.
As the kids grew older he graduated into bigger boats my favorite the Z-Boat a black and white Crownliner.
He found his nitch of land at then Surfside Marina/ now Eagles Landing and put down his trailer, built a dock and it became his second home and the people at the river became his second family.
He lived his life for the summers to start to hit the sun and fun of the river, hit the sandbars,pull out the coolers and settle in to entertain his friends.
Ironic that he should pass on the start of Memorial Day weekend. The start of summer.
He would spend most of his days and nights up there all summer. Him and his wife Debbie where alwaysready to party, to see old friends, and make new friends.
I as his sister was up there often and just in the past 2 years thankfully had the pleasure of sharing more of his life and getting to know and love the river like he did. For I finally had a boat.
I got to know his friends I am known as Larry's little sister to most.
I cannot imagine the sandbar are the river without Larry causing trouble by trying to make people laugh. To all his fellow river rats I want you to thank you for the prayers and thoughts through his battle. Him and Deb loved you all and all the good times. On Larry's Party Barge.
He is at peace and pain free now and he would want to say.
Happy Memorial Day Dawgs Party On.

Mark Bertsch   1959 - 2008

 

 

With Deepest Sympathy........     

 

Thursday afternoon long time River boater Mark Bertsch lost his battle. Mark first began boating on the River in 1980 with a small group of fraternity brothers. In those early years it was difficult for the financially strapped college students to keep their old boats operating, but with continued effort and river-rat ingenuity the group of friends was always able to get at least one of the boats in working condition to enjoy each summer weekend.

Throughout the years Mark had an affinity for “West Coast Boats”, owning boats from such recognizable manufacturers as Advantage, Eliminator, Marlin, and Sleek Craft, all with enormous horsepower. Given his love for horsepower, Mark often volunteered as a patrol boat during drag boat races on Creve Coeur Lake , and in Litchfield Illinois . Although the River was always home, Mark was often seen on the waters of Kentucky Lake , Lake Norfolk , Bull Shoals, and Table Rock. Occasionally taking his boat on its own bottom from the Alton Pool down to Kentucky Lake , and then on to Nashville .

Mark was a very giving person, always willing to help out a friend with a boating p rob lem, or as an attorney entertain a request for free legal advice. While boating was his first love, Mark also enjoyed softball, trap shooting, and Cardinal Baseball. Mark was preceded in death by his mother, and is survived by his father Philip and stepmother Ana.

Mark, you will be missed but not forgotten, may the good Lord be a shining beacon on your cruise to heaven.

The following was posted on Her Caringbridge website by her husband Joe.

 

 

 

 

 Jessica Ellen Inchiostro passed away Thursday November 6th at 4:49 pm.  I want everyone to know that it happened in our living room and was peaceful, painless, and she was surrounded by family, which was exactly the way she wanted it to be. Just like everything Jessica did it was exactly the way it should be. We have no regrets. We met this fate on our own terms and took control of the uncontrollable. Even though my heart is broken I have solace in the fact that she is now in at peace. No one earned it more than she did. Thank you with all that I am for supporting us and being a part of the struggle. It made a horrible situation that much less horrible and has given me a new born sense of how good people really are and how much we can accomplish when we come together. Jessica's spirit lives on in the bonds of friendship we have forged. It is now up to us to continue her work.

   Bob Nuelle Has Passed Away.  

   One of our boating friends, Bob Nuelle, who most recently boated out of Yacht Club of St. Louis in the boat "Manhattan" passed away after a relatively short battle with cancer.

Funeral arrangements are pending but will probably be up here at Kutis and then Jefferson Barracks.

For those of you that maybe don't know, Bob had a rapidly spreading cancer that was discovered after a traffic accident. He also contracted a staph infection while in the hospital there in Del Ray Beach Florida where he was living. He coped with both surprisingly well, to the point of coming back to St. Louis to buy a car and then driving back to Del Ray Beach by himself. Unfortunately the staph infection kicked back in, he went back in to the hospital in Florida, went into Hospice care and died all within a few days. Faye and John Marnatti had just visited with him this morning.

Please excuse me if some of my facts are not 100% correct, just wanted those of you that didn't know already a little background. I will email you all as soon as I get the funeral arrangements.

Sorry to convey such sad news, our condolences to Bob's family and friends.

Kim's Son

   Randolph Michael Jones

   

Bill,

So more sad news to pass along, there has been way too much of it recently.
Kim's son, Randolph Michael Jones ,passed away last week. She has many friends on the river and I wanted to pass along the information of the services this weekend if anyone wants to attend.
Its a tragedy to lose a child I can't even imagine the loss she must be feeling. Thankfully, Kim has her family an friends to help her through this very difficult time.

Services will be held at Baue Funeral Home at Cave Springs and I-70 in St Charles. There will be a gathering of family an friends from Noon until 2:00 pm in the Chapel Room, Sunday October 7th, 2007. At 2:00 there will be a service followed by a procession to the Garden Of Love in the cemetery for a prayer.

My heart goes out to Kim and her family in this very difficult time.

Sincerely,

Tauni

Joshua Freeman  ----

   

Received the following email from Darryll Weil / Ron and Jane Freeman regarding a change in their son Josh's memorial service.

"To All: 

Because of the length of travel and the time it will take for our daughter Michele to return from Iraq, the memorial service for our son has been changed. It will now be held on Saturday, from 10:00 a.m. -12:00 noon. It will still be held at Collier's on Lindbergh and we will then go to Lehman's Landing. 

Once again, thank you for your thoughts, prayers and support.

Ron and Jane Freeman"
