How blessed I and all the students at Midway were to have had such a great English teacher and friend. He taught, prepared and encouraged all his students to be/do their best. We each have own special memories of Mr. King-one of mine was hearing him play the organ. He will be missed so much. My prayers are with his family and may God comfort each of you. Thank you, Mr. King!

Mr. Ralph King was such a wonderful teacher and a nice person. He taught us English and Spanish at Midway, and was our class sponsor. He traveled with our Senior class trip. We appreciated him so much. Class of 1966

Mr. King was such a wonderful friend. He always loved the students of the Midway community, and they, in turn, loved and respected him. He helped me so much when I began teaching English at MHS (especially on diagramming those sentences!). My prayers are with his family at this time. We will all miss him. Naomi Davis

Mr. King will be sadly missed. He was a great man and a wonderful teacher. I thought of him often as I passed his former house in Kingston. He taught me much more than English and for that I will always be grateful. Rest in Peace, Mr. King!

Mr king was a great teacher even though I failed his class one time and ended up taking his class the next year twice. He always called me Voy. Never by my first name. He made me laugh and he was a great friend as well as a teacher. I will miss him greatly. Goodbye Mr. King.

Mr. King was a wonderful teacher and role model. He was also my home room teacher. Our class went to Florida on our class trip since in 1966 There was rites in DC. Having a big family I would meet the class each year that a relative was on trip. Mr. King once told me that I went on more class trips than any student! I was living in Virginia at the time and always enjoyed visiting with him. My prayers for the family.

Just last week I was thinking of Mr. King. We passed the house close to I-40 where he lived. I'm so sad! What a spectacular teacher.

Mr. King challenged me as a student more than any other teacher. English was always my favorite subject and I attribute him with that. His passion for teaching was evident daily in the classroom and he was such fun out of the classroom. He made a profound impact on the Midway community.

A great man has left this world. A wonderful English teacher who touched the lives of several generations of the Midway community. I wished that he could have taught my nieces and nephews as he taught my father, my brother and myself. He will be greatly missed and my thoughts and prayers go to his family. Class of 1992

Mr. Ralph King was an outstanding English teacher. He challenged his students daily and tested our learning often. He cared about us an individuals, and he made us strive for greater things. A special thank you to you, Mr. King, for all the hours you gave to the teaching profession. Thank you for taking us to Washington, DC for our Senior trip. Thank you for caring, challenging, and encouraging me and others.
Your earthly journey is over, and you are now enjoying your heavenly rewards. Class of 1974.

Such a good man. He was a teacher, but so much more. I know your family will miss him and so will his Midway family. I pray for God's comfort for your hearts and that you know how much he will be missed by his former students. Thank you Mr. King, for all you did for the Midway community.
