GREGORY RICHARD KING

Greg was the most selfless human being I have ever known. He had a unique way of eating breakfast, sandwiching his eggs between two slices of toast but buttering them on the outside and afterward licking the delicious butter off his fingers. Greg enjoyed listening to Jackson Browne in his later years. He found meaning in helping people at work, dealing with rent control regulations, and chafed at bureaucracies more concerned with self-preservation than serving the public-a man who lived by...

I am so sorry to hear of Greg's passing. He helped us as Boston tenants, he was an absolute pleasure, we were lucky to have met him. God bless.

Greg was a great friend during his time at the University of Hawaii. He was one of the smartest people on campus and was always ready to discuss (and argue) the political issues of the day. He was a gentle, kind and thoughtful soul with a genuine concern for the downtrodden. I will really miss him. Happy trails my friend.

I am very sorry to lear of Greg's illness and passing. I worked with Greg on the union and frequently saw him on the bus and in City Hall. I know he was looking forward to retirement with his dear wife. Please accept my sincere condolences.

While I never had the opportunity to meet Greg, I felt as if we were kindred spirits. I just learned of his death. He was a wonderful email buddy and we shared our love and concern for workers and union democracy. I know all that knew him will sorely miss him and have many wonderful memories of his life and work.

Greg King was an intellectual giant, a gifted writer; a man who was soft-spoken and caring of humanity. He lived a life of advocacy and actions for justice and equity for all. My family and I have great sadness in our hearts on his passing. Sincere condolences to Yupin and other members of his family. Dear Greg: E Malama Pono.

I was saddened to learn of Greg?s untimely death. I knew Greg when he lived in Honolulu and remember him as a good man who had a deep commitment to social justice. My condolences to Greg?s family.

Greg was one of the most decent men I've ever known. He was my first friend in college. He had the most agreeable, apologetic manner when disagreeing with you. It was impossible to become angry with him. His trusted counsel will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to the King family. I am saddened by his untimely death.
