William (Willie) King

So very sorry to hear of Willie's death. We would still cross paths, from time to time, in Cabra, after his retirement from St. Peter's. He did such a great job in his years as sacristan, there. To echo an earlier message, his wit brightened many a day and he was one of a kind.

Condolences to all the family.

So sorry to all the family on your dad’s passing. Always enjoyed his happy manner and funny jokes. We will all miss such a nice man.

It's so sad to think that our Uncle Willie has passed and we send our love strength and prayers to Caroline Andy Liam Elizabeth Daniel Adam and Laura. I remember going down for my sleep overs with Caroline and Uncle Willie bringing myself and Caroline to the Cabra Road to get our sweets to watch telly and getting our chippy dinner.

To all the king family im very sorry to hear about Willie he was one of the nicest kindest most genuine people i ever knew i was an alter server for about 8 years in st peters i had the pleasure of helping willie he was a great mentor to me i looked up to him he was so easy to talk too and he thought me so much may Willie R.I.P 🙏

Dear Caroline & Liam,

I was so sorry to hear of Willie’s passing, as it doesn’t seem that long ago since I last saw him with the lads outside the bank. Outside of the job whenever I bumped into himself and John on their walks I fondly remember the laughter, Willie was always great for a laugh.

In work he was so helpful to me, opening up the office so that everything was prepared and ready to go. When it came time for me to do my driving test, he took me out a few times to Glasnevin Industrial Estate to practice. I passed but only because of his help.

I’m sorry I can’t be with you this morning for his funeral Mass, I’m in hospital for the past 3 weeks. I couldn’t be with you in person but I was with you via webcam. It was a beautiful Mass and you both spoke so lovingly about your dad. And Fr Devlin’s homily was so lovely too. I will continue to keep Willie and all of his family in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear of Willie's passing 😢 some great day's we had while working in St Peters with Willie. May he now be reunited with Laura. Thinking of all his family at this sad time. RIP WILL 🙏 😇❤️ from Carmel & Elaine.

Deepest condolences to Caroline & Liam , thinking of you at this sad time , may Willie rest in Peace .

Sincere condolences to Caroline, Andy, Daniel, Adam & all Willie’s family and friends. I remember fondly, being at a Le Cheile Christmas concert, when the concert came to a hault, & a jam packed hall were asked to sing “Happy Birthday” to the “best grandad ever”. Hope the many memories & stories shared over the coming days and weeks bring you some comfort during these very difficult time. Thinking of you all. X

Sincere sympathies to Caroline and Liam and extended family as Willie has entered Eternal Life.
So many memories of Willie as the Sacristan in St Peter’s for around 20 years. He used to open the church doors every morning about 7am and close them each evening after the 6pm mass when there used to be 5 daily masses. He was the stalwart in Saint Peter’s for all of those years for every occasion from Christmas to the Easter week ceremonies, all of the parishioners Funerals, Weddings, Baptisms, Feast Days and many other religious celebrations -- they all took place like clockwork under his guidance, supervision and direction.
Willie no doubt gave great and loyal service and support to all of the Priests in the parish over the years, to visiting priests and all of the Sisters in the Daughters of Charity.
He was always in good form and engaging with everyone in the Church whether they were parishioners or visitors to the Church.
Delighted that I visited Willie just a few weeks ago in the Nursing home as we reminisced about so many happy days and times over the years.
No doubt Caroline and Liam and extended family, the many happy and fond memories you all have of Willie will give you strength at this sad time.
He certainly keep the faith to the very end and fought the good fight to the finish.
