Mr. King, was known for his soft interview style. In that type of industry I believe a person like that is a rare find. King will truly be missed. I believe a fitting comforting scripture for a man like him is Romans 12:15 “Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep” . I pray the family is able to find true comfort during such a hard time.

Mr. King was well loved and respected by all his viewers. My desire is to learn from his style of talking with people. It is good to ask a simple but appropriate question and attentively listen as the person tells his or her story. May this family find comfort in knowing that God is close to the brokenhearted and that Mr. king's life and legacy are safely stored in His memory.

I have listened to his shows over the years. Even some of his ad campaigns. For all the journalists out there...never stop speaking what you want to let the audience know..in public television or radio or on paper. This is what I have noticed throughout his time on television. Prayers to his family and associates throughout the years. God bless all of you.
