To the King Family, This is the end of an era. Tom King is the last of the great neighborhood Dads to die. Do you remember we all had Cortina's? I think the Callahan's started it. We had a lot of fun when we were little.
Mr. King was always a kind and gentle soul. I vaguely remember Mr.King and my Dad and Mr. Callahan chatting and Joking around on Trapelo Road. I treasure my memories of your family. I love you all. Hope there is a happy gathering before any more losses. Love Patrice

Very fond memories of Uncle Tommy from half a world away. His late brother Stephen had wonderful stories of him, especially a visit to Stephen and Chrissie in post war London. My visit to Tommy, Mary and all the family in 1976 will always be special and the kindness of all the family remains with me. A tear and prayers from sister in law Chrissie, niece Theresa and myself to Mary and our cousins.

To the entire King family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. My fond memories of Mr. King are of him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee and listening to the Red Sox game on the Radio. He always called me "Bet".
Much Love,
Beth "Bet" Martin

I just heard about Tom leaving us for heaven. Mike just emailed me from Iraq.
I want to say to his family that I loved being part of your family for over 20 years. We shared some wonderful times together with our families. Tom and Mary were always so special to me personally.
To Eileen, Mike and DJ, my love, hugs and support are with you all. He was such a great dad and grandfather. Thanks for sharing him!
Love,
Auntie Ann and 'sister' Ann
