Hello Molly and family,
I worked with you father at NCR in Cambridge for several years. He was a very nice person, a dedicated employee who consistently delivered on his commitments. He accepted any, and all challenges and did very well. I remember in my early NCR days we formed a flag football team. You dad came out and played even though he was a little older than the other participants. He did really well too ! He asked what he could do in the game and I told to go down and out about 15 yards. He was not the fastest guy but he ran the route as instructed . I threw the ball to a point, as he was still running and when he turned the ball was right there, he turned caught it and ran for a touchdown. He was quite a guy !
Bill was an excellent record keeper too. If we needed anything we would see Bill and he would find it for us ! He was respected and loved by the entire NCR Community. I have heard from so many of his NCR friends this week and all were remembering cherished times spent with Bill King !
Please know that your Dad will was loved and will be missed by the many friends he made while working at NCR in Cambridge !
