Neil John King

Diana, please accept my belated condolences on Neil's passing. I was trying to find him to share a small world encounter I had today which would have amused him to no end, and very sad to learn why that's not possible. He was a wonderful man. All best wishes, Bill

Remembering my friend Neil on the first anniversary of his death... with love and gratitude! Carl Halperin

My condolences to you Diana, who I have tried to reach for a long time now. I know you were very happy with Neil and I hope you will still find life worth living. Your second cousin in Sweden. Christina Kärrqvist.

Neil was a great friend and always willing to drop what he was doing to help others. As a young appraiser with an assignment in Skokie, I stopped into Neil's office in the hopes of finding some "comps". He took time away from his work to assist me and was a great help. We became friends and as an appraiser, Neil and I worked on many assignments together, for both small and large Chicago law firms. We were retained, on a number of occasions, to testify as expert witnesses on opposite sides...

Dear family, Dick and I are greatly moved by this incredible description of our very outstanding and kind friend! He will certainly be missed by us and people who knew him. My acquaintance individually began at high school level, whereby his two pleasant sisters were in my later class( 1952). So many abilities and interests, all packaged in one lovable man, are difficult to find. We send our deepest sympathies for your loss! God bless and with love, Betsy Rutledge (...

Neil and my father were roommates at Yale. Neil was always a bright light to our family. He asked the best questions and encouraged all of us.

Neil and I were introduced through Diana, who was my neighbor in Evanston when I was a boy. Neil welcomed me into the family, and we became fast friends. In recent pre-pandemic years, when I returned to Chicago, I stayed with Neil and Diana. We enjoyed live theatre, Lyric Opera, movies, and fine dining together on those visits. Neil was a kind, generous, thoughtful, curious and upbeat gentleman. I will remember him always. My sincere condolences to Diana and the family.

Neil was a wonderful man! I had the privilege to be one of his doctors and that was the beginning of a great relationship that was a delight! I enjoyed his inspirational outlook on life and remember him with great respect and honor.

I have regarded Neil as a role model since I first met him. He was smart, funny, kind, adventurous, loyal, generous and charismatic-as complete and accomplished as any man could hope to be. He will always be held in the highest esteem and deeply missed.
