Alan was a wonderful artist and charming individual. He was involved in Artbarn School and I truly wish I had known him better. We have a lovely painting of his in our window with old buildings on Queen Street and would be happy to give it back to his family.

Alan’s talents brought laughter and beauty to a world much in need of both. Such a pleasure to know him and such a loss to lose him so soon.

We would like to offer sincere condolences to the King family on Alan’s passing. Our son, Scott, was a good friend of Christopher’s in high school. (Sadly they have lost touch over time and distance). During those early years, Alan gave us two political cartoons which remain framed by our desk. We often think of him, his generosity and his extraordinary talent to capture a moment, when we admire them.
His obituary reveals a life well lived, one with principles, diverse talents and interests. He will undoubtedly be sorely missed but we hope the memories will sustain you.

Alan was a gifted artist who showed his promise early. As a childhood neighbour I remember the incredible seascape he painted directly on his parents’ living room wall!
Our condolences to Gayle and Elaine, and the entire King family.

Alan seems like he lived an extraordinary life, he accomplished so much, and seemed to have done everything he wanted to do. He will be missed.
You have your wonderful memories and hopefully that will be of comfort to you, in the coming days.

Alan's amazing talent, sense of humor, and sharp intellect sustained our friendship of 59 years. My heart goes out to the family for this huge loss.

A few years ago Alan and I were co-chairs of the Art Committed at the Arts and Letters Club, where we all enjoyed his arts and his sunny personality. When our two-year term was completed we remained friends and would meet in our neighborhood. He was very close to his family, and would talk about family visits and holiday gatherings, which he looked forward to. My condolences to all of you. Alan’s death is a loss for so many of us.

My condolences to the King family.
I remember Alan most for being the big brother of my lifelong friend (his sister) Elaine. I was fortunate to hear him play the pipe organ many times at the Anglican church in port Whitby. He always looked so happy to play for family weddings and funerals. More recently, his children's book has inspired our grandchildren with creative prose and superb illustrations.

Alan was so talented and with diverse gifts. He contributed to many events and shows at the Arts and Letters Club. Often we would be delighted to hear him playing the piano there! If anyone needed help or advice re painting - he was always kind and also funny! Just cannot really believe that this wonderful man will not be at the Club when it once again opens. We wish Allan's family warmth and may the sunshine that shines from your memories hold you safely and with love.
