2nd Post for Wednesday

From Larry Velasquez:
Don Boone (Boone & Company Chili) of Belton, Missouri passed away this past Monday from heart failure. Don started cooking CASI chili in 1997 and qualified for Terlingua three times. He is well known in the Kansas City area for having repeatedly won “People’s Choice” at the Midwest Regional CCO in Lenexa, Kansas. Through his efforts of cooking great chili he raised hundreds of dollars for this cook-off benefitting Juvenile Diabetes. Don would make his annual trek to Rankin, Texas to participate in the Rankin Horned Toad CCO and would come home with the “Furthest Traveled” trophy which he loved. Don was a long time member of the MO-KAN POD.



Visitation is scheduled for 7 to 9 pm on Thursday at Atkinson Funeral Home in Harrisonville, MO. Graveside service will be at 11:00 a.m. at Orient Cemetery also in Harrisonville, MO. (816-380-3269)
