Henry Thomas King, Jr.,
Henry had a life-long love of singing….at church, on the mower, in the car, or in the doctor’s office. He also loved to fish for bream, especially at Champagnole Creek. After his retirement from Amoco Oil/BP Petroleum Co he took up gardening at his home in Woodberry, where he loved to share his produce with people at church, family members, and various others in and around Hampton. He graduated from El Dorado High School in 1960. He proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force, reaching rank of sergeant. Henry was a member of Union Grove Assembly of God Church where he served as deacon, Sunday school teacher, and of course, song leader. He loved youth, serving as a Cub Scout den leader in Texas City, TX, and a youth leader at Mainland Assembly of God Church in Hitchcock, TX.
