CARE House Circle of Friends to honor memory of Barry King
Hometownlife.com
CARE House of Oakland County will host virtually its 25th annual Circle of Friends program on Jan. 28.
This year’s event will honor Barry King, a longtime supporter of CARE House who died in late 2020, and memorialize his family’s painful, but important, story, that gripped Oakland County more than 40 years ago.
Examining the legacy of the Oakland County Child Killings helps call attention to the vital mission of CARE House: the prevention, and treatment of abuse and neglect and advocacy for victims.
In 1976 and 1977, four children, including 11-year-old Timothy “Timmy” King, were murdered in Oakland County. The cases have not been solved. In honor of Timothy, Barry King was a major supporter of CARE House’s Pontiac facility renovation in 2011, a believer in CARE House programing and services and a dedicated spokesman for child safety throughout the region.
