We wish to express our condolances to the King family in the sudden passing of their father, Derek. We have been friends with Derek and Doris for many years and have many good memories of the fun times spent with them over the years. In particular, we remember the dinner outings, card nights, golfing and many enjoyable social times in Florida. I thought highly of Derek as my supervisor at MTO and enjoyed the many 'field trips' with him in checking out the area car dealerships. Derek was truly a fine gentleman and a dear friend and both he and Doris will be dearly missed and remembered in our thoughts and prayers. Bert and Sandra Waterhouse
To the King family: I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Derek King was my very first mentor in the work world after graduating from college. I learned a lot about MTO through his good natured & caring ways. He also inspired everyone I knew. He wanted people to excel & he helped them along the way. He was very much a family man & was very, very proud of his family. I will always remember him as D.J.S. King, P. Eng.
My heartfelt sympathy to Pam, Susan, Nancy and their families. Mr. King was my special friend and like a second father to me. The sweetness of his letter to me before my marriage portrays, what a kind, gentle and thoughtful man he was. He will be greatly missed.
