Born Earl Edward King, he was the son of Morris & Belle King. His sister Lottie King Ramsdell. Loving husband of Betty Clawes Braddy King and sister Josie King. When he was a baby, he reminded the nurses of a little bunny rabbit, so he was nicknamed "Bunny" . It stuck all his life wife friends and family or they called him "Eddie". He served in WWII in the Army Air Corps on bombers. He was sick one day if I remember correctly, it was the chicken pox, so he had to be quarantined. His unit deployed on a bombing mission where most were killed. He was not meant to pass on yet! After the war he worked mostly in shoe stores, exclaiming he could sell anyone a pair of shoes. He had 3 marriages producing 2 lovely daughters and eventually met his 4th and last wife in his fifties. That was Betty King. At Neusteders Department store in Englewood, Colorado (Cinderella City) and Cherry Creek Shopping Center in Denver were they both worked around 1972. They later married in 1977 as they moved to Santa Monica, CA. were Eddie again sold shoes. He and Betty were very happy together and acted like a young couple together. Always laughing, and kidding around with her, and she loved him for that!
Age 65 years of age he succumbed to lung cancer after a brave battle at the Veterans Hospital in LA, California. He was buried near his parents in Colorado. I'm sure they are together now though as they were very happy together.
