Gary L. King

What can I say about Gary King? Years ago he joined the workforce in the security department at Buick, where I was already employed. Over the ensuing years I made a lot of friends, but none as close as Hank Guerrieri, Wayne Roberts and Gary King. We lost Wayne in his prime, and now Gary is gone, with Hank and I left. But we still have our memories of these men, who seem like brothers to us.

For a period of time Gary and I were formed into a survalance team at Buick. This lead...

I would also like to extend my most sincere, heartfelt gratitude to those of you who have signed this guest book and attended visitation/funeral ceremonies.

My father was a man whom I have and always will try to model my life after. He was larger than life and will always be remembered for the way he touched so many lives.

Dad will always be with me wherever I go until the end of my days.

I love you, Dad.

To those of you that have signed this guest book I am deeply touched.

My father was my best friend and I know things will never be the same, but his memories will be with me forever. He was my HERO and no one will ever replace him.

So for those of you who could not attend his funeral please don't feel bad. Remember the individual memories you each shared with my father and hold on to them!

Respectfully & Thoughtfully,

Richard E. King

The King Family,
I'm so sorry for your lost.You don't know me but I know Gary so well he was like a dad to me. when I was hired in with Pinkerton he took me in and trained to be the best as I could be. He worked with my dad for 20 years, so he always looked over me. He will be very missed in my heart and with others. God bless you all.

Rich, my family and I offer you and your family our deepest condolences.

We just found out about your loss, and were stunned, as well as heartbroken, as you must be. Although in contact mostly at work, Gary has always been like a brother to me, and I will dearly miss him. It's proably not necessary to say because you all must surely know it, but never doubt Gary's love of all his family. You were the one thing that he talked about the most. The horses were important to him, but you guys easily took first place in his heart. Vickie, I recently retired from GM and...
