OUR STORY
A Legacy of Compassion and Service
Some experiences shape us forever. For the Darling family, the journey of Rev. Dr. King S. Darling and Mrs. Dorothy Darling became a beacon of hope for many.
Rev. Dr. Darling, a respected electrical contractor, businessman, and philanthropist, lived by the motto:
“If I can help somebody as I pass along, then my living will not be in vain.”
Diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1988, he and his family committed to learning, sharing, and supporting others facing similar battles. His wife, Dorothy Darling, stood by his side as a devoted caregiver, offering unwavering strength and love.
Their legacy lives on through the Kingdor National Parkinson’s Foundation, founded in their honor.
