| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Monday, September 7, 2015 <<< William A. Kingman “Bill” passed away Sept. 2, 2015 at the age of 66 in Lake Havasu City. He was born Oct. 22, 1948 to Lucylle and William W. Kingman in Dayton, Ohio. Bill was a complicated man. The most passionate man you would ever meet; brilliant. He wore his heart on his sleeve. He had a lot of great friends which he made easily. He was always the most enthusiastic person in the room. He was most proud of being an inventor. Of his many innovative ideas, he most notably invented a lithography process using diffraction to create logo decals in the late 70s. This innovation was sold nationwide in Walmart among other stores for brands including Chevy, Ford, Datsun, Toyota, and Nissan. His process ultimately won him a contract where he built a machine which modified missile guidance chips used by the U.S. government. He could fix just about anything, and holds several patented inventions. Whether it was flying, building machines, boating, fishing, building cars, or working on his latest idea; it was always with passion and at full throttle. Bill wasn’t famous but he was extremely talented. He left a lot in his wake; he wouldn’t have wanted to live any other way. In the end, he was taken quickly by lung cancer. Bill leaves behind his daughter, Nicole; granddaughter, Katie, and his sister, Lynne. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home and Crematory.
