Mr. Harold Thomas King beloved husband of Melva Wolsey King, passed away in Raymond on October 31, 1995 at the age of 90.
Harold was born to Louis Debenham and Elizabeth Eames King on July 8, 1905 in Raymond, Alberta. His brothers and sisters are: Louis Robert (deceased), Stella Hill (deceased), Shirley Wayne of Raymond; Necia (Wes) Mullett, LaVonne (Niles) Wing and Melba (Bill) Mehew.
Harold and his wife, Melva are parents of Connie (Keith) Hancock (2 grandsons and 2 granddaughters; 9 great grandsons and 4 great granddaughters); Harold Wayne (Anita) King (3 grandsons and 6 granddaughters); Robert Burrell King (died in infancy) and Carole (Ted) Lybbert (1 grandson and 3 granddaughters).
Harold was a gifted child who possessed talents in the field of electronics and a searching, keen mind. He was also talented in music and drawing. He was best known for his inventions in ham radio (the first in Raymond). He was an honour graduate from Coyne Electrical College in Chacago, Illinois in 1932, and kept his studies up-to-date, from the earliest television concept (which he perceived at age 17, when the first "scanning discs" were invented), to modern day colour tv. His drawing gifts were discovered by his children and appreciated in later years. He was a modest man where these talents were concerned and music was shared with his family—the accordion and the harmonica.
He loved nature, the pine trees, the lakes and mountains, as well as the fields of grain and wild flowers.
Mr. King ran the P.A. system for a number of years, in the early years of the Raymond Stampede. He had a good bass speaking voice (only close family members ever heard the deep, resonant tones of his singing voice).
He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. His passing was peaceful with wife and children present.
A family service was held on Wednesday, November 1, 1995, at Christensen Salmon Chapel. Graveside services were held on Thursday, November 2, 1995, in the Cardston Cemetery. Arrangements in care of Christensen Salmon Funeral Home, Lethbridge, Alberta. Lethbridge Herald, November 2, 1995
