Summary:"He could never say no (to adopting a dog)," said King's longtime partner, Mindy Charlup. "He would say 'Please, please Mindy, can we keep him?' Even insects -- he would take them outside instead of killing them." "Every building or site in the city, he had his hand in it," said Monica Kortz, El Cerrito's recreation director, who worked with King all 14 years. "If you couldn't remember something about the city or a particular project, he would know." "I don't think anybody has moved anything from his desk here," Kortz said this week. "It was a pretty big shock to everyone here. We didn't think this could happen."
