Lawrence "Bill" Zembsch

Lawrence William "Bill" Zembsch, 84, of Fordland Missouri, passed away on Saturday, June 22nd, 2024.

He was born August 31st, 1939, in Cherokee Iowa, the son of Bernard Zembsch and Altha (Bowers) Treptow.

Bill enjoyed woodworking and was a carpenter until he had to have heart surgery and it became difficult to perform those duties, so he switched gears and began driving a dump truck. He loved the outdoors, especially camping, hunting and fishing. Anyone who knew Bill would say that he was a man of few words, but when he did speak you knew you better be listening. He was a caring and loving person, particularly to the people who were dear to him.

He was preceded in death by his father, Bernard; mother, Altha; his brothers, Robert, Howard, Dean, and Leroy Zembsch; and his sister Agnes "Jean" (Zembsch) Florke.

Bill is survived by his loving wife of over 31 years Eunice; children, Debbie Leyva, David Zembsch, Douglas Zembsch, Terry Zembsch, Judd Zembsch; stepsons, Vance Woodbridge and Scott Woodbridge; numerous grandchildren and great grandchildren; as well as a host of extended family and friends.

A Visitation will be held at 10:00 am to 11:00 am on Friday, June 28th, 2024, at Harvest Community Church: 379 Redbud St., Rogersville, Missouri 65742.
