To the family - my deepest condolences. I was privileged to work with Donald for many years when he was on the Admiralty team with Bob Acomb. A kind and true Southern gentleman. You will be in my prayers.

Dearest King family,
I love you all, and I loved your dad. He was a great man, and a fine example of how to live. You were very blessed to have him in your lives, and I know this is a terrible loss.

I wish I could be there on Monday, but G will be there to give you all hugs from me, but I will give them to you in person the next time we meet.

Love you buckets,
Darcie

Sending prayers for Mr. King and his family. He was always smiling at JOWA when I was there for many years. What a wonderful obituary. He is looking down on his family and friends from Heaven Above. May he rest in peace, Amen.
