Not sure what to say?

Bill King was a shipmate and fellow chief petty officer. We went through chief’s initiation together. He was my trusted colleague and friend. Bill and I loved Icelandic coffee and chocolate pastries. Thank you for great times.

Bill was a great guy .He was one of few guys from Wiesbaden that I really new and liked. I was from Mainz, Army brat and most my friends were from Mainz.
I have drank some beers with good old Bill. Bless his soul.........

My prayers are with you and your family....Bill was a great guy, always helpful even when he didn't feel well....only good memories ...he will be missed....but we will see him again in heaven....love you all.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.

I met Bill when he was just a 16-year-old kid. He was the singer for a band in which I was once the keyboard player and manager. He had great pipes and the voice of a rock-star star.

He, like the rest of us, was not a saint but he was a God fearing, caring, and loving person. I suspect that he remained so his entire life.
On November 5, William King, a son, a husband, a father, a...

Truly a wonderful man, he lite up a room with his smile. Was a pleasure knowing him and his wife. His love for animals was so amazing. And there love for him shined!

I played in a band with Bill many years ago, in Wiesbaden, Germany. Had no idea he went on to be a highly decorated marine. My prayers go out to all his family and friends.

Rest In Peace Mighty Warrior!! :'(
