Kenneth Gordon King

Hi Janet, I so appreciated you contacted me when Ken passed. I still consider him the best attorney I've ever worked with and miss his presence in the field. He taught me so much about the law and was a true beacon of light when I moved and lived in Detroit. He was not only my boss but a true teacher and friend. I live in Texas now and we could use a mind like his in this day and age! I pray you and your family are doing well. Peace & Blessings to you and yours always.

Janet,

I recently came across the obituary and extend my sympathy to you and your family. I have thought of Ken often over the years; it seems little time has passed since the two of you visited me at my apartment in downtown Lansing in the early '70s.

I remember Ken and I, my other friend Ken, and whoever else we could inviegle to participate, would play follow the leader driving home from the Press each night. At each stoplight, the leader would run out, pop...

Ken and I first met in the 7th grade at NHS and quickly developed a competition over our grades, an endless debate over political issues, and a tennis addiction that by our senior year occupied us both nearly fulltime. We corresponded some while I was over in Vietnam, but pretty much lost touch after that. I am devastated by his passing, however. I had always assumed we'd somehow manage to re-link-up and resume our tennis/debate marathons "someday". I was looking forward to that more than I...

I've known Ken King for 41 years. I can hardly believe it's been that long.

Ken was my best friend from 8th grade on. We were inseparable team mates in the Northview High School Debate Team. Ken would argue with anyone about anything at the drop of a hat. He mellowed in that practice through the years, not because he didn't like to debate, but because he became more gracious, knowing he could defeat any opponent, but caring too much for them to prove it.

Along...
