CHARLES KINGSON

Blessings on this 4th anniversary of Mr. Kingson's passing.

I was reminded today of Charles' passing and have said a prayer in his memory. I can imagine he is greatly missed.

He was a gentle and humble man, never one to talk down to a student, but commanded respect through the sheer brilliance of his mind. Let kindness and ethics be his legacy, even though we are not worthy.

I was a newly minted tax attorney at Willkie Farr & Gallagher (1983-1986) and had the great fortune to work with Mr. Kingson. His area of specialty, international tax, was a great mystery to me back then and his work whet my appetite to know more. Decades later I am specializing in US international tax, having practiced in Asia and now the Middle East. It was with great sadness I learned of his passing and send my deepest condolences to his loved ones.

Charley was an invaluable mentor and an inspiration to all in his professional orbit. Notwithstanding his stature in the industry, he was humble to a fault, and his wonderful sense of humor was often directed to poking fun at himself. He is sorely missed. Warmest thoughts and sincere condolences to his family and friends.

He was a friend of my older brother from their days at Horace Mann - and I remember him as being extraordinarily kind to a little sister, and as having a splendid sense of humor. Sincere condolences to the whole family.

That's a sad, unexpected shocker. He and I saw each other once in a while for a while, when I was at Cravath and he at Willkie Farr. then, as happens, we drifted apart. I had no idea he was a pianist (as was I). We laughed a lot together. All my condolences. Peter

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure your hearts are heavy at this time. May the " God of all comfort" bring comfort to your family (2 Cor 1:3). Your loved one will be at rest and in God's memory.

I'm very sorry to hear of your precious loss. May your memories always bring smiles to your faces and comfort to your hearts. And may the God Of All Comfort help you through this difficult time. Isaiah 61:1,2. May Charles's memory be a blessing forever and always.
