William King Obituary
DALLAS — William O. King, 95, of Dallas, passed away Saturday, March 9, 2024, at Hospice of the Sacred Heart, Dunmore.
Born in Alden, he was the son of the late Frederick and Margret (Margraf) King.
He was a proud, retired 20-year veteran of the United States Air Force
He was a loving husband and father who could never do enough for his family. His family always came first in his life.
He resided for the past two years at the Village at Greenbriar in Dallas. They were, and will always be his extended family, and will never be forgotten for all they have done to give him such a good quality of life. When we needed more help for his well being, he transferred to Hospice of the Sacred Heart in Dunmore. They also are a family-oriented facility that cares and has a wonderful staff.
In addition to his parents, William was preceded in death by his wife Margarete L. King.
Surviving are his three children, son-in-law, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Funeral Services will be held privately in accordance with his wishes.
Memorial donations may be made to The Village at Greenbriar in Dallas, Pa. and Hospice of the Sacred Heart in Dunmore, Pa.
Arrangements by Harold C. Snowdon Funeral Home, Inc., Shavertown.

Bill was one of the kindest persons I've known. Always smiling and wanting to be helpful in any way. His military service at US Air Force
bases overseas, especially missile launching units, kept America out
of conflicts by being an active part of an effective deterrent. I've
lost a brother-in-law and friend, sadly. May he now rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of the passing of "the captain" as my mom called him. I was fortunate enough to meet Bill during his time at Greenbriar. A lovely man. He will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
