John Buckwalter Retirement


Mr. John Buckwalter, Director of Public Works for the City of Kirksville, Missouri, will be retiring on July 6, 2013.

John has worked for 17 years for the City of Kirksville, Missouri. John has been an integral part of the Missouri Chapter

APWA since 1996. John was first appointed to the executive board back in 2003 and has served in various positions

until 2011. These positions included the chair of the Management Practices and Technology, chair of Membership and

Member Services, chair of Inter-Governmental Affairs, chair of Continuing Education and

finally the chair of Awards and Historical.

In fact since John was so active and did such a terrific job at these positions, the Missouri

Chapter APWA awarded John its highest recognition award, the D Squared award, in 2006.

The D Squared Award was established in 1992 to recognize individuals who exemplify

excellence and dedication in serving the public and the public interest through outstanding

achievements and performance in the field of Public Works. The D Squared Award was

named to commemorate and recognize the services of Mr. Allan B. Dieckgraefe and Mr.

Walter Davidson, who both worked untiringly on behalf of APWA, the Missouri Chapter

and the goals of the organization.

Even though John has already received the highest recognition award possible by the Mis-

souri Chapter, the chapter still wanted to recognize John with one more award. On July 1,

2013, Mr. Dave Hamilton attended the City of Kirksville city council meeting and pre-

sented John with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

The plaque read as follows:

American Public Works Association

Missouri Chapter

2013

Lifetime Achievement Award

Presented to

John Buckwalter, P.E.

For his dedication, commitment and years of outstanding service to the

Missouri Chapter APWA and the public works profession

Signed by Mr. Jonathan Gano, P.E., President of the Missouri Chapter,

Mr. Ty Abbott, P.E., Vice-President of Missouri Chapter,

Mr. Christopher Boy, President of the St. Louis Branch

and Ms. Anne Lamitola, Vice-President of the St. Louis Branch.

Congratulations to John!
