My father, Roger Lawrence King, passed away yesterday, February 14, 2022, age 91. Above is a recent photo. (He always seemed to have a cup of coffee at hand.) He still remained a vital, happy individual despite his Alzheimer's, diagnosed about ten years ago. He was always a standup, salt-of-the-earth kind of guy who had a great sense of humor and could strike up a conversation with anyone. He was the last of 8 children and never expected he'd do more than run a milk route in rural Pennsylvania, but he did far more than that. A decorated Marine, he fought in Korea, survived malaria and polio, and went on to earn a M.B.A. and C.P.A. He leaves his wife Mary and four children.
