On Monday, my dear Uncle Bill passed away. He spent this last year battling mesothelioma and we've spent it praying for a miracle. When I heard the news, and sat weeping, my 8-year-old son came, put his arm around me and said, "It's okay mom, he's walking with God now." His presence will be dearly missed, but his memory will live long. Good-bye Uncle Bill, I love you. . .
William “Bill” King went home to be with the Lord on August 15, 2011, surrounded by his loving family after his yearlong brave battle with Mesothelioma. He was born in Washington, Oklahoma on March 10, 1937, attended local schools and graduated from Lodi High School. After graduation he attended Stockton College and became an electrician. He then went on to become a General Contractor and has built many custom homes locally and in the surrounding areas. His passion for building led him to serve the Lord doing many missionary building trips all over the world while attending Faith Community Church. First and foremost Bill was a compassionate, caring, loving, Christian family man and an inspiration and example to all. He enjoyed working in his garden, going to the coast, caring for his animals, especially his cat Tom-Tom. Bill’s quick wit and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
He will be greatly missed by all who knew him especially by his loving wife of 54 years, Jackie Eberhardt King of Lodi, his daughter, Sandy (Rick) Kuhn of Lodi, his son, William Scott (Jane) King of Acampo, grandchildren, Matthew, Erin and Amanda Kuhn of Lodi, Zachary and Adison King of Acampo, Mother Ellen King, sisters Bea “Sis” (Glen) Hendrix, Cora (Ken) Bouchoukian, brothers Doyle (the late Yvonne) King, Leon (Jackie) King, Neil (Delores) King of Lodi, Ray (Frannie) King of Morada. He will also be deeply missed by numerous nephews, nieces, extended family and friends. Preceded by his father, Saul Wesley King, nephews, Neil King, Jr. and Steven King, father and mother in law, Edward and Mertis Eberhardt.
