Raytown mayor issues posthumous proclamation honoring Bill Price
Summary
Mayor Michael McDonough presented a posthumous proclamation recognizing Bill Price, founder of Shamrock Cabinets, for decades of business and community service in Raytown; family members accepted and recalled his civic involvement.
Mayor Michael McDonough presented a posthumous proclamation on Aug. 20 honoring Bill Price, the Raytown High School graduate who founded Shamrock Cabinets in 1966 and led the business for decades.
The proclamation, read by McDonough, cited Price’s civic involvement — including service with the Raytown Rotary Club, the Economic Development Committee, the Downtown Planning Group and his tenure as Raytown Chamber of Commerce president in 2002 — and noted local recognitions such as Small Business of the Year (1998), Person of the Year (2005) and induction into the Raytown High School Hall of Fame (2023). Family members accepted the proclamation on his behalf.
A relative who spoke at the podium said Price “loved Raytown and did a lot of volunteer work in Raytown because he loved it,” and thanked the city for the honor. McDonough said he is pursuing an honorary road name in Price’s memory.
The proclamation was presented as a ceremonial recognition; no formal action or funding was associated with the item. The family’s remarks were brief and focused on Price’s business legacy and local volunteerism. The meeting then moved to routine reports and a study session on ARPA-funded projects.
