Bruce Willard Hunsicker

I had the good fortune of working with Bruce when he was president of the MCCSC Teachers Assoc.. He was looking out for all his membership and their future retirement dollars. In 1999 he negotiated a buyout plan for their sick days, years of service and health insurance benefit which allowed hundreds of Teachers to retire earlier than many thought possible. In one meeting he told me that his goal was to take care of the teachers and if the plan was approved they will enjoy a good retirement....

This guy will forever be stamped in my mind as one of the best teachers ever at Smithville High School. He had a way of teaching that made everyone love him, while learning. You felt like he truly was your friend and he was there for you. Smithville Skibos was proud to have him for a teacher! Janet Richardson Moore, Class of 1972.

Mr. Hunsicker was my one of my favorite teachers at North, he always made everything interesting, great teacher! And I loved reading all this information about him that I never knew of, sounds like he lived a very full life!

Best teacher I ever had. Brian Elkins, Smithville High School, 1972.
