Gerald “Jerry” W. King

WINSLOW – Gerald “Jerry” W. King, passed away unexpectedly on May 18, 2021 at MaineGeneral Medical Center in Augusta. He was born on Jan. 15, 1944, the son of Vernon & Veronica King of Bangor.

Jerry leaves behind his loving wife, Linda, of 56 years. He will most certainly be missed by all his family and friends that knew him.

Jerry graduated from Winslow High School in 1962. He had a love for sports, especially football, where he was known as the man with the “Golden arm”. He attended Husson College after graduation before he entered the U.S. Air Force.

Jerry, known as “Mr.JK” worked for Kennebec Supply Co. as an outside sales account manager, where he then worked his way up to Vice President. The business was bought out by F. W. Webb, where he worked until his retirement.

One of Jerry’s favorite pastimes was playing golf at Waterville Country Club and traveling across the state at many courses. Jerry and his team won many tournaments over the years. He also enjoyed watching many sporting events, and found a passion for playing cards with great friends at the Elks & VFW. Jerry took great pride in his family, and enjoyed spending time with them.

He is survived by his son Gary and wife Julie, their children Ryan and Keira, and her fiancé, Bryan, grandson Zack Isbell, and of course his newest great-grandson, Blake; his brother Rob, and wife Pam, daughter Morgan. He is predeceased by his daughter Susie; his parents, Vernon and Veronica King, as well as his in-laws, Basil and Margaret Adams.

There will be no visiting hours and at a later date we will plan a celebration of his life.

Arrangements are under the care of Veilleux and Redington Funeral Home, 8 Elm Street, Waterville ME. http://www.veilleuxfuneralhome.com
