Barry L. King
YORK, Pa. – Barry L. King, 67, entered into rest unexpectedly on Thursday, April 6, 2023, at his home. He was the loving husband of Sandra L. (Baughman) King. The couple celebrated 38 years of marriage on Aug. 24, 2022.
Barry L. King
Born Aug. 11, 1955, in West York, Barry was a son of the late Harry D. and Doris M. (Dern) King. He was a beloved husband, adoring father, dependable brother, unfailing uncle, trustworthy friend and enthusiastic helper to everyone he met.
Barry graduated from West York High School in 1973 where he was a wrestler and in the color guard. His first job following graduation was in the school district’s audio-visual department, where he began to earn a reputation as “Mr. Fix-It.”
Barry worked as a State Farm agent for Harry D. King Insurance for 36 years and owned and operated Barry’s Studio of Photography for 40 years. Early in his photography career, he assisted York County Coroner Kathryn Fourhman. In his “retirement” from insurance and photography, he ran his business as a wholesaler of model train reproduction parts to distributors across the United States and organized many successful train shows. Over the years, Barry had served as a volunteer firefighter and paramedic for West York. He also helped at his family’s monument business, King Monuments, as well as his in-laws’ monument business, Baughman Memorial Works.
He was a member of Mt. Zion U.C.C. in York, Train Collectors Association of America, Hawks Gunning Club, and Viking Athletic Association. He served as Vice President of the HOA Board of Directors for Assateague Pointe in Maryland.
Barry was described as a “force of nature” with his larger-than-life personality, huge smile, and distinctive, hearty laugh. He was there when anyone needed him to do anything, anywhere, any time. Auto mechanics, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, computers — he seemed to know how to fix anything, and if he couldn’t, he would connect you to someone who could. If he wasn’t offering help or advice, you could find him fishing, boating, and immersed in his model trains. Barry centered his life around his family, and he was the center of theirs.
In addition to his wife, Barry is survived by his son, Hunter D. King of York; “adopted son,” Jan Baros and wife, Klara of the Czech Republic; sister, Brenda L. Hershberger and husband, Jack of York; father-in-law, Donald E. Baughman of Dover; sisters-in-law, Sharon K. Witmer and husband, Warren of Dover and Suzanne M. Becker and husband, Scott of York; numerous nieces, nephews and cousins; and his beloved pets, Toto and Loki. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Jeffrey D. King; and mother-in-law, Beverly J. Baughman.
Barry’s funeral was held on Wednesday, April 12, 2023 at Mt. Zion U.C.C., 1054 Ridgewood Road, York, Pa. Burial was private in Greenmount Cemetery in York. Officiating was his pastor, the Rev. Danielle Neff.
Memorial contributions may be made Mt. Zion U.C.C., 1054 Ridgewood Road, York, Pa. 17406.
