When I was age 24 I was secretary to Alfred (as we called him) and Warren E. King. when he officed at 228 N. LaSalle St., Chicago. There were two of us girls in the office, Jean Condrella and myself. He was a pleasure to work for and enhanced every day he showed up at the office. He left us both with very pleasant memories. Naturally, I had lost track of him as I moved from Chicago to a very, very small town of Grand Junction. I'm sure he will be well received in heaven.
With our ever loving wishes, Jean O'Rourke Condrella and Mickey Salapatas

The world has lost a most generous and kind spirit. Heaven is better for his presence and has gained the best gin player!
