King... You were one in a million...and made a friend with every door that opened. Thanks for allowing me to ge a part of your life...and the kindness you always showed me. When cutting through all the loud jokes...I could always see a very soft and tender little boy who just wanted to be accepted. May God rest your soul in peace. Jim Gibson
