L.B. Eckelkamp Jr. Legacy in Washington Missouri | St. Louis News

L.B. Eckelkamp Junior, the visionary CEO of the Bank of Washington and a beloved pillar of the Washington, Missouri community, has passed away at 82 after a brief illness. A graduate of St. Francis Borgia High School, Maryville University, and Saint Louis University Law, Eckelkamp built a legacy defined by both financial leadership and deep-rooted community service. His heart was with Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, where his philanthropy was unwavering, and his commitment to civic progress included championing infrastructure like a planned sewer system and promoting family values. Honored with the Volunteer Community Service award from St. Louis County, he leaves behind his wife Mary Ann, two sons, seven grandchildren, and a sister — his brother James having passed before him. Funeral services are set for Friday morning. Eckelkamp’s life was a testament to giving back, leaving an indelible mark on both the financial world and the hearts of those he touched.
