Jim was a wonderful person who was quick with a smile or a helping hand. He never had a bad thing to say about anyone. He was a great mentor and had a heart the size of Pennsylvania. He'll be greatly missed. Ed Kirn

Hello,

Sorry to hear about Mr. King. He was a big part of our life when we lived in Philadelphia. My parents were Ed Kirn and Virginia Kirn.
