Charles H. Herring Jr.

I am so sorry to hear about your father passing.

He was an influence on me. I remember my parents watching the news on channel 5 with "Chuck" Herring. He did his job with such subtle professionalism and started quite a legacy. Thanks.

Our love, blessings and thanks for the memories! Kris and George Sparling, Jr.

I don't play golf very often at Glen Acres, but a few years ago, I was paired up with Mr. Herring. It was a delightful round. I enjoyed the stories and the fellowship. He will be missed here.

While working at KING TV in mid-80's, I was given the assignment of producing an anniversary show for the station---and so sought out interviews with all the significant staffers from KING's early years.
Mr. Herring's self-effacing stories about his pioneering days as news director and anchor were among the most delightful I could have hoped for. And even though he didn't know me from Adam, he couldn't have been
friendlier or more accomodating. A gentleman of the first order,indeed.

C.H. made an appearance on KING and NWCN on the 50th anniversary of their newscast debut, September 10, 2001. The next morning he was scheduled to be in the newsroom to co-anchor the morning news (NWCN) to celebrate that span of time. September 11th turned out, however, to be what people would call a "heavy news day". A few years later we had a conversation about that -- and I told him that because of that sequence of events I would, in a way, still continue to associate an amazing newsman...

A true pioneer to Seattle television.

I worked at KING, the summer of l964 as a studio cameraman. It was a pleasure to be in the same room with a consumate professional and a truly nice human being.
