Dearest King family, I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My Dad worked for Fred for many years at Kinco. We heard many stories of him and I know my Dad respected him and enjoyed working with him. The last time I seen Fred was at my Dad's funeral, to have Fred and some of the others from Kinco to come to the services even after my Dad had been retired for sometime really meant alot to me and my family. I know you all will miss him dearly. It's not easy to lose someone you love so much, may God give you the peace and comfort that you need at this time.

Dearest King Family - I have been deeply saddened to have learned of Fred's passing. As another past Kinco employee, Fred was my Florida Dad - he helped to guide me along in my career and I know deep in my heart that I would not be where I am today if it weren't for Fred King. I am gladdened that his pain and suffering are behind and he is well in heaven. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God Bless!

Mrs. King and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. King was the most generous caring man I've ever met (except for my Dad). Mr. King was my Dad's boss, but more importantly, his friend. Dad had great respect and admiration for Fred and his accomplishments. I remember a time at the lake, my family, the King family and the Pickett family. What a great memory. Mr. King was also very kind and generous to my precious sons, Andrew and Ryan. My heart is sad for your loss, and you are all in my prayers. May your loving memories comfort you. Fred King was and always will be a great man! It is an honor to have known him.
Love and prayers,
Carolyn (Lynn) Morris (Jerry Carter's daughter)

When I first went in the window business, I heard about Fred King and Kinco. He was a legend 25 years ago. 2 years later I went to work for the man and learned more about the window business from him and James Arnold then anywhere else I have been.
I will remember Fred as a generous, committed employer and a visionary for this business.

My thoughts and prayers with the extended King family. This is a sad day for me personally as well. Having spent nearly all of my life at or around Kinco, I came to know Fred very well. He was one of the most intelligent people I have ever known, and his generosity knew no limits for those close to him. Many days I would sit and talk with him, the wisdom he would share with me at the time did not penetrate this thick head of mine. Those coversations are still very vivid to me, and over the last couple of years I have come to understand many of his points. I will always remember how good he was both to me and my mother. I will always remember Fred King.

I met Fred in 1992 when I became an employee of Kinco. What a great experience it was to work for such a great person.Fred was not only a great boss but a very special person. I enjoyed his sense of humor and his many stories about his grandchildren. He loved his family very much and was proud to let everyone know. I will always treasure the time and conversations I had with Fred. I feel honored to have known him. My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.

Dude was such a devoted grandfather. As long as I can remember he would call us all the way in Texas on his drives home from work. He loved talking cars. He got my Pontiac GTO to a higher speed going down San Jose than I ever got it on the highway. I know he was a great friend to alot of people and I was blessed to have him as my grandfather. I love you Dudes.

First, Thanks Dena for giving us all a place to reflect. Fred was the greatest husband, father, grandfather and my buddy. Fred had a way of making ereryone he was around feel good! I was trying to remember what time I liked best. Out in the ZR-1, having lunch, working on the boat, in Daytona at a race, or just watching a football game on t.v. They were all great becouse he made me feel good, just being with him. We talked alot and I know I will be a better man. I and all others that he touched will love and miss him.

Words cannot even begin to express how much I will miss my “Dude”. I loved him so much and will remember all of the wonderful memories that we shared. One of the earliest memories I have in my entire memory bank are with Dude. I remember being in one of those baby seats on the back of a bicycle. Dude was driving and I was riding on the back. I couldn’t have been more than 2 years old. I remember being scared out of my mind that I would fall off because I was not in control of the bicycle at all; I was just a passenger! However, as the years would go on, and I would grow to know Dude, I can look back now and know that there was no way he would have let anything happen to me on that bicycle. I know now that he would have risked everything to keep me safe. I loved him dearly, and he will be sorely missed.
I love you Dudesy Wudes!
~Love, Deanzie Weanz~
