Wallace “Wally” King

Dear Arlene:
We received an e-mail today from Sulgar Creek telling us of Wally’s passing. We know he hadn’t been well for quite some time but news like that is still a shock.
We would like to give you our sincere condolences and pray that you will be at peace. When a loved one is sick, it is also so very hard on the spouse. Although you miss him and wish him still here, I’m sure that his suffering is not something that was easy to see and we know that that is now over.
We sure missed you guys the last couple of years in Sugar Creek. The last few years, especially, we got to know you both better and certainly enjoyed you as neighbours and friends.
God Bless
Cor and Clara

So sorry to hear about Wally. I’m sure you will miss him a lot. We’ll miss him watering your lawn down here at #25. I didn’t know him very well, but always thought highly of him. He was always nice and friendly. He will be missed. May God continue to heal your heart and comfort you everyday.

Arlene, we were sadden by the passing of our friend. Thank you for calling me, I appreciated it so much. Wally was a great gentleman. We love you. Helen and David

Arlene, we are sorry to hear about your loss. It will be strange not seeing Wally around. Take care and if I can help you in any way, let me know.

Arlene, I was blessed to have known Wally and you through many golf outings and fun times. He was always an interesting person to visit with off of the golf course also. Shookie and I enjoyed are dinners together hearing some of his stories about his time spent in the military. You and your children were blessed to have him as a husband and father. Keep in touch Arlene we can still have dinner together and perhaps hear some more interesting stories. A friend Nedra

Always enjoyed seeing Wally and you at the Creeks Las Vegas nights. Our thoughts and prayers and with you and your Family. Russ and Betty

To Arlene & Family
Sorry to hear of the passing of Wally. He had
many friends at the Defiance Foundry, and was a
outstanding man. He left everyone of us with

to the people he worked with. Can I help you or
how are you today. He will be missed by all.

As you requested, Arlene, I am sending this message again: Wally did not just vanish & leave nothing behind. There all all those rich memories of the times you shared a slice of life together & some good laughs. Those memories did not die with him, those memories become clear & cherished in your mind & the minds of your children, grandchildren & great grand children too. What an extradorinary gift he leave with all of you. Be strong. Much love, cousins PJ & Paul

Dear Arlene and Family.
We were so sorry to learn of Wally’s passing. He was a treasured friend and an esteemed member of our Class of ’42 at LHS.
Our most sincere condolenses and prayers from your lifelong friends.

Arlene and Family, We were sad to hear about your loss. Our thoughts and our prayers are with you and your family.

Arlene, Karel, Dudley & David, We are saddened to hear of Wally’s passing and we are sending our sincere sympathies to you all. We are sure Wally met his end compassionately & with God. The Crane Cousins

Dear Arlene & Family; the 4 years I worked for and with Wally in Quality at Defiance CFD, were the best 4 of my GM career. He was a gentleman of the highest caliber and his stories of his previous GM experiences at Rochester and others were quite an education for me. My heart goes out to you. Arlene, I hope you remember me. My wife Phyllis passed away 6 years ago, so I have a great feeling of understanding for you at this time. Love, Joe

I worked for this man in the 70’s. He was an old style supervisor who treated his employees fairly and justly. He simply required you to do a fair day’s work for a fair day’s wages. We respectfully refered to him as “Wally” in those days. It sounds like he enjoyed his later years. Good for him. HIs family can be proud of him because he is fondly remembered as a good man.

Dear Karel, so sorry to hear about your father.

Karel, so sorry to hear of your Father’s passing. I didn’t know him, but know that you were a close family and that you’ll miss him very much.
God bless you and Jim and all your family.

Arlene and family, we are truly sadden by the passing of Wally. The kids loved him so much and were always excited to see him when he went outside. We saw what we thought was PT over last week and hoped it ment he was on his way home. Every time the kids saw him on the golf cart or just sitting outside, they would always run in yelling with excitement that he made it outside. He will be truly missed by our family. You are in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dud, Karel and Dave, I was really sadden by the news of the passing of your Dad. I remember him most as an avid golfer and a very good father. I always enjoyed him when he was around. High School days were good memories in Defiance and so were all of you, your Mom and Dad. I think of him as one of the good guys in my life. He will be missed by all of us. I know this time is very hard on all of you and I will be saying prayers for him and for you. Love you guys, Dave Monroe
