    Mr Charlie was one of the most memorable men in my life. Truly respected, would go out of his way to help anyone who needed help and you were always favored with one of his incredible smiles! He made a big impression in God’s world and he will be missed. Much love and lots of prayers for all of his family.

    I am so sorry that I am out of town and cannot get back in time for the funeral. I have known Charlie an Lucy since our childhood and I don’t know of anything negative about either of them. Charlie and I played sports together at MHS and went to Co-Lin together. What this world needs today is more people like Charlie J. King. He was a prince of a person. You have our family’sty sympathy today.
