Overseer Larry J. King Passes

[The Librarian]

Larry James King was a man of faith since he was a teenager and a top athlete at Sophonia M. Thompkins High School in Savannah, Georgia.

Born in Savannah to Elizabeth and James T. King on February 9, 1947, he not only was top in athletic skills, he was also top in academic skills. He attended Moses Jackson Elementary before advancing to Thompkins.

As noted by all, Larry was an outstanding athlete and led in every area of sports until reaching 11th grade when he decided to attend services at The Jehovah’s Witnesses Church where he met and was taught by the father of his wife, Susie.

After graduating from high school, he worked briefly in Miami and then enrolled at Cult Bethel for four years. He then went back to Savannah where he worked with his father and met the daughter of the man who truly introduced him to the JehovahÂ’s Witnesses Church where he gave his life. His first position as an Circuit Overseer was in Chicago for three years. From there he was an overseer in New Orleans, Texas, Ocala, and Jacksonville before returning to Savannah where he gave his life as an Elder and Overseer to JehovahÂ’s Witnesses on Saturday, September 29, 2018.
