William Dick Fickle, 72, of Weatherby Lake, Missouri passed away on May 12, 2016 at his home. He was born October 29, 1943 in Kansas City, MO. He loved his family, his State and his Country. The joy of his life was his family, and we were blessed to have this amazing man in our lives. A 6th generation Platte County resident, Dick served as Prosecuting Attorney, and later in the Missouri State Legislature. He had a private law practice until his retirement in 2012. Dick was active with many civic organizations, including the Native Sons of Kansas City and Royal Order of Jesters. His service to community, youth organizations, Masonic and Philanthropic organizations were an important part of his life. Of the many titles and honors that Dick received over the years, he embraced "Daddy" and "Granddaddy" the most. His most lasting legacy will be his dedication to his children and grandchildren. Dick is survived by his daughter, Tara Bennett and son-in-law Bob Bennett of Parkville, son, William Dick Fickle, Jr. of Blue Springs, and grandchildren Caroline, Ryan and Patrick Bennett of Parkville.
