January 13, 1946 – August 22, 2023
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of William (Bill) Samuel King on August 22, 2023 after a short battle with cancer. Bill passed peacefully at home with his family by his side.
With enduring love Bill and his beloved wife, Hilda (nee Rogers), shared 53 beautiful years of marriage. Their partnership was a beacon of devotion and an example of lasting commitment that will continue to inspire all who knew them.
Bill was born in Happy Adventure, Newfoundland on January 13, 1946 and moved to Calgary in 1981. After 25 years in Calgary, Bill and his wife retired to Newfoundland where they spent 12 years, before moving back to Calgary to spend his remaining years with his family.
Beyond his roles as a husband and father, Bill was a dedicated hockey fan, especially to the Calgary Flames, win or lose. He also had a love for fishing and camping where he enjoyed time with his friends and family. Bill was a quiet man with a sense of humor that could make anyone smile.
Bill leaves behind to mourn, Hilda, his wife of 53 years; his 4 children, Barbara, Craig, Lorie, and Cathy (Richard); 7 grandchildren, Joshua, Jennifer, Savannah, Destiny (Jordan), Annabelle, Nathan, and Justin; great-granddaughter Everleigh; mother-in-law Bride Rogers; siblings, Sandra (Nelson), George, Bonnie (Paul) and Dann (Debbie); and many nieces, nephews, friends and family that will miss him greatly.
Bill was predeceased by his father Alexander King; his mother Blanche King; sisters Leona and Iris; brother baby Donald; and father-in-law Eldon Rogers.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Bill’s memory to the Canadian Cancer Society
