To the King family,
I was saddened to hear of Chuck's passing. I remember him as a man who consistantly helped people better their lives through his generosity. His warm smile and welcoming demeanor will be missed. My family keeps you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Marilyn and family,
I was so saddened to hear of Chuck's passing. Chuck was one of the most important influences in my automotive career. Working as a DM in Boston in the exciting Datsun days - Datsun was #1 in 1975 under Chuck's leadership! Chuck then approved me to become a dealer in a little college town in Upstate New York, Oneonta. What a ride! He always took time to call and ask "How's business, Paul?" He took time to include us for dinner at his table at all those wonderful...

Chuck was blessed with a Loving Family.Great Leadership Ability,
along with the Highest Character and Integrity. During the 35 years as a Datsun/Nissan Dealer.I could always call Chuck for direction during the tough times.
He will NEVER be forgotten.
Blesings to the entire King Family

Marilyn what a nice guest book this is. Chuck would be so appreciative of all the wonderful comments and condolences expressed by all his many friends and family.
We will always remember him going to the ice-cream parlor with us in Grants Pass the week-end the two of you came up for one of our high school class reunions. That was the first time we got to meet him, and we were both so impressed with your Chuck. It is so nice to read here how much he was liked by so very many people....

Our thoughts and prayers are with Marilyn and her family.

So many great memories of time spent with you and Aunt Marilyn, Trent and Toni. The jokes, the secret handshakes bring a smile to my face. You were a great uncle and Melinda and I will miss you!
Tee it up and watch the dogleg on the first hole up there.

Love, Dan.......

Dear Marilyn and family,

It didn't take long for our friendship to develop when Chuck joined Ironwood C.C. He would often invite me to golf with him so my rounds of golf played went quickly up. And when you're on the golf course with Chuck you never had to worry about going hungry...he always had snacks. My favorite was the Asian Pear so every once in a while even if I wasn't golfing with him he would bring me one to the golf shop. He was also good about bringing me a Strawberry...

I was greatly shocked to learn of the recent passing of Chuck King.
Chuck and I long worked at Nissan USA and I admired him so much.
He made my life in the States easier and happier,for which I am thankful. I wish to express my deepest sorrow and sympathy.

Dearest Mrs. King, Trent and my precious Toni;
Mr. King is part of wonderful memories for me during jr. high when I met Toni. Sleepovers at your home (and your dog Kelly making me sneeze!), trips to Palm Springs, running into you in Catalina! Every time Toni was driven to my house, Mrs. King came in a new Nissan....never the same car twice! I witnessed such love between the two of you, it really made an impression on me to this day. Mr. King was the ultimate gentleman...I was always in...
