It was with great sadness that our family learned of Jim's passing while we were out of the country last month. He was truly a great public servant and a fine human being. His support of FSU was legendary. His cheers at Doak Campbell Stadium will be missed, but his spirit will be remembered always.

We all love Jim, He sure helped the Building Trades out a few times and stood with us on some loosers too. Sure will miss him.

Linda,
Those who are so full of life,we think will live forever because they give so much of themselves.They care about others as Jim did.I know your heart is hurting now but the life and memories you both shared will ease the pain in time. He loved his dogs.He was so caring when he brought them into parkway.He was a wonderful person.God will keep you in his arms and see you through.

Dear Linda & Family:

So sorry to hear of the passing of your beloved Jim. Although we have never met, we have many mutual friends in the Jacksonville area, and I feel I know you through the trust and friendship exhibited by your husband when in Tallahassee. May God be with you and your family.

Jim will be missed, but not long forgotten.

Barbara and I are saddened by the loss of Jim - too soon. What a charismatic driving force he was. We know he will be happy with his two black labs for comfort at his favorite FSU. You are in our thoughts daily and our prayers always.

To the King Family,

Jim King gave so much of himself through his public service. He has left a lasting impression and wonderful memories with so many. My deepest sympathy is with his family and friends. May God’s promises bring you comfort and peace.

Sincerely,

Leiah Kerns-Carr, President

May the prayers of others help in some small way to bring you peace and comfort and courage for each day.

"The Senator" was a true friend, we will all miss him.
Linda, remember you will always, always
have your wonderful memories. They are
your memories, no one can have them,
they are yours.
You and Yours are in my thoughts and prayers.
I was honored to be known by Senator
King as "Faye".
