I worked at K. C. Structural Steel in the late 60's and early 70's. I would run into Tom when I went on the hill (Office). I worked in the plant's office. I have many fond memories of Tom. He always kidded me about working for my Uncle Clarence A. Baker-Plant's manager.Tom Yearsley-RIP My Friend!!!

The entire Dill family sends our deepest condolences! My father, Bob Dill, will always hold a special place for Tom in his heart as he was truly a great friend to my father. I can remember some 30+ years ago when we all went to Royals, some Chiefs and even a couple Kings games. Of course, I was known as Bobby Dill at that time. Remember playing a few rounds of golf with Tommy :) at Milburn back then too.

Anyway, Tom and the Yearsley family have been important to the Dill family. He will be greatly missed!
