Sue, Laura, Victoria, Joe and the entire King family. I was so sorry to read about the loss of Mr. King (I never called him Joe out of respect). I remember seeing him all the time when I would get out of work in the AM from The Orchards and I would head off to Burger King. He also had a smile whenever I would see him working.

My condolences to Joe's Family, I met Joe many years ago when he worked for Burger King. Joe was an outgoing person and not too often you see your customers on a daily basis that you connect with and that's how Joe was, everytime I would come in contact with Joe outside of his work place he would always acknowledge me and would have a brief conversation. I am glad to have known Joe, he was truly an amazing person. R. I. P.
