William E. King Sr.

Billy was an original CFD Training Officer and Deputy Chief. He was the kind of guy that would point to something on the rig and ask the newer guys "What is that, and how does it work?" He was also notorious for opening valves around the engine to ensure new drivers were in the habit of checking them before a drafting operation. Billy also told younger members lines that we still live by, such as "as soon as you think you know everything, you're going to get yourself or someone else hurt." "Uncle Billy" was predeceased last year by his brother and 40+ year member Robert King. "Uncle Billy" was Grandfather to Lt. Chris Colombo, Uncle to Deputy Chiefs Gerry Munson and Stephen Dominello, as well as EMTs Pattie Munson and Anita Dominello, and Great Uncle to Captain John Munson, Lieutenant Jim Ferguson, Firefighters Kristen Munson & David Rinaldi. Uncle Billy will be missed by all of us at the Northside Powerhouse and the CFD, however his legacy and his lessons will live on. Funeral services to be announced shortly.
