FARMINGTON- Ernest "Nookie" King, 76, of Jay, died, Wednesday evening, Feb. 20, 2013 at the Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington after a short illness. He was born on Jan. 29, 1937, in Farmington, a son of Archie and Dorothy (Davis) King. He attended Livermore Falls schools and for over 30 years worked at Isaacson Lumber Company in Livermore Falls.
Nookie lived with his sister and her husband, Dorothy and Everett Hunt for many years before going to live with his niece, Debbie Merrill and her husband Rick in Jay for 15 years. For the past year, he was a resident of the Victorian Villa in Canton.
His favorite hobby was collecting and sorting returnable bottles and cans and cashing them in. He also enjoyed sitting on the Knapp St. wall with neighborhood friends, listening to the scanner and keeping Debbie informed of all the happenings and listening to radio broadcasts of the Red Sox and local high school sports. His greatest pleasure however, was time spent with his family Dot, Everett and all of their children and their individual families.
