Albert E. (Al) King, Jr., age 78, died peacefully after a lengthy illness on September 23, 2011 in Hospice HomeCare, Little Rock. Al was born September 8, 1933 in Jonesboro to the late Beulah Faye and A. E. (Duck) King, Sr. He was also predeceased by an infant sister, Faye Bernice King, and step-mother, Bernice Webb King. He served in the U.S. Army, attended the U of A, was past president of the board of directors of the Garland County Association for Drug Abuse Education, past president of the Kiwanis Club and a member of the Sunshine Church of the Nazarene, Pearcy. He joined his father as an estimator and partner in C & B Construction Company and Pharoah Construction Company. He built commercial buildings in Arkansas and Louisiana. His specialty was hospitals, schools and banks. One of his proudest constructions was the First Federal Building at the intersection of Central and Ouachita in downtown Hot Springs. He was devoted to his family. He was always interested in the tiniest of accomplishments of his daughters. That interest carried over ten-fold with the birth of his only grandchild, his much adored granddaughter, Hayley. He will be remembered as an honest man, a faithful husband, a devoted father, a supportive father-in-law, a good son and brother and the worlds best Paw Paw. He is survived by his wife of 56 years, Martha Taylor King; daughters and sons-in-law, Carol Ann and Michael Henley of Jacksonville, AR and Phyllis Jean (P.J.) and Dennis Hodges of Little Rock, AR; granddaughter, Hayley Henley of Jacksonville, AR; sister, Gloria Jean (Jeannie) King of Hot Springs; step-grandchildren, Marie (Jeremy) Shapley and Brian Henley and step-great-granddaughter, Gillian Shapley.
