I am very sorry to hear of Kings passing. I worked with King at the Hub deli in Binghamton in the late 50s and early 60s before entering the service. He was the hardest worker I have ever know as well as being a gentleman and a friend! I will miss him at the IHOP as well as at the Downs! God rest King and until we meet again!,,
