I knew Jim from Notre Dame and St. Louis U Medical School. He was extraordinary and the world needs a million of him. Shocked at learning of his death so many months after. We all have him to pray to now...he was special. He has to be chuckling in Eternity at our fumbling around down here, as his memory promotes transcendence and Hippocratic Humanbeingness. Deepest sympathy and condolences to Charlene and family. God bless all Jim and all his legacy.

Through working at Brookside Country Club, I came to know Dr. King and his family. He was a true gentleman in every sense of the word: kind, down to earth, helpful and more than anything else very friendly with a great sense of humor. He will be leaving a great legacy and will be deeply missed.
To the entire King Family, you have my deepest condolences and sorrow. May the Lord be with you at this difficult time and grant you patience and comfort.

We deeply lament the passing of an old friend. Jim was instrumental in improving the quality of medical care in Stark County virtually overnight. He was not only a superb physician, he also helped to recruit many board certified physicians to the area. Charlene and family should be very proud of his legacy.
Rest in peace, Jim.

It is with sadness we heard of Dr. King's passing. Twenty three years ago as a patient of Dr. King he diagnosed me with a serious condition. Thanks to his expertise and caring nature he sent me a specialist in California. I believe I am here today enjoying my life with my wife and family due to the caring actions of a wonderful Dr. King. Thanks forever.

Dr King hired me when I had no medical background. Each week he would take time to teach me the GI system and how it all works, he also taught me termology and the correct pronunication. He encouraged me to receive my CMA which I did while I was with GAI.
He was wonderful with his patients and always had a sense of humor that goes unmatched by anyone.
My prayers and thoughts are with Charlene and the family.
