Jack Francis Veulemans, of Sedalia, formerly of Tipton, passed into the care of our Lord on Monday, January 25, 2021. He was 93.
Born January 3, 1928, at the family home in Gravois Mills, he was the second of five children of John Dominick and Edith May (Higbee) Veulemans.
The family moved to Tipton and at age eight, before and after school, Jack began working with his grandfather, father and uncle at the family grain elevator. When the family sold the elevator business to MFA in the mid-sixties, Jack started Veulemans Elevator in Otterville. He grew the business throughout the decades and was respected in the industry. For the next many years, Jack provided employment for many local men whom he lovingly referred to as “the boys.” Jack prayerfully and humbly led by example in all aspects of his life. He sold the elevator in the early nineties, but continued to frequent there, sometimes working, until about 2010.
