Born in Homer, Neb. on Aug. 1,
1910, Mr. King graduated from Central
High School in Sioux City and attended
Morningside College in Sioux City for
two years and then Midland College in
Fremont, Neb. for two years.
His working life was primarily dedicated
to the management of various
Chambers of Commerce throughout the
country, beginning with Worthington,
Minn, from 1939-1941, and continuing
in Rapid City, S.D. from 1941-1947,
(World War II service excepted),
Bethesda, Maryland from 1951-1952,
Owensboro, Ken. from 1952-1956 and
Albuquerque, N.M. from 1956-1961.
His record of accomplishment at each
of these assignments was exceptional,
and typically included the retirement of
all indebtedness, and the functional reorganization
of each office.
Mr. King's government service included
military duty in the U.S. Army,
rising to the rank of Sergeant in World
War JJ (including 19 months of service
in the European Theatre), four years of
service from 1947 to 1951 in Washington,
D.C. as the Secretary and Administrative
Assistant to U.S. Senator Chan
Gumey (R-S.D.) (first Chairman of the
Senate Armed Services Committee, 80th
and 81st Congress) and as the person
responsible for opening the office of
Congressman E.Y. Berry (R-S.D.), and
14 years of service as a Field Examiner
and later as a Compliance Officer for
Region 14 of the National Labor Relations
Board in St. Louis.
Beyond his work accomplishments,
Mr. King, in his later years, was most
notably known for his volunteer service
as a regular visitor along with his wife,
Eleanor to numerous nursing homes in
and around St. Louis. Beginning in 1975,
and continuing until his death, "retirement"
found Bob and Eleanor taking an
organ and later a keyboard to different
nursing homes each month for sing-alongs
with residents. At the peak of this
ministry, their schedule included performances
at 28 different nursing homes
each month.
