Hi Papa just wanted to stop by and say hello. I'll be coming to visit you today. Annie is getting married so I wanted to ask you how should I give her away. Can you believe it!? I know you will be there today I'll save you a seat. We all really miss you. We were at dinner joking about who got in trouble the most growing up and of course it was not me. Momma misses you. Tell Dom and Mommie I said hello and also my buddy Aaron. Love you always

Hi papa. I know I haven’t been here in a while. I hope you had a great birthday in Heaven. Tell mommy and Dom I said hello. Momma misses you. We all do. Business is going good and I paid off my loans. I also have a car now. (About time I know). Just wanted to write this to you. Also Saint Peters University is doing good in the NCAA tournament. I know you would be happy about that. I love you I’ll be back here soon.

My CWA Classmate and friend, so so sad about your transitioning. Will faithfully remember the fun we had together as teenagers. I remember our Math teacher, Mr. Hudson, used to say to you when you did one of your pranks; "Sidney King you like to throw the rock and hide your hand". Rest in Peace my brother, and may your memory be a blessing! Robert Quellie-Kennedy, Jr.

It was a privilege to know and work with Sidney. A very kind, compassionate, dedicated human being and loyal friend. I cannot believe you are gone. You will be missed dearly and remembered always with great affection. "MJ" Mary Jane Desmond

Still can’t believe Uncle Sidney is gone. He was always a strong, warm and calming force to all of us along the journey with Dom. Always loving. Always family. We will miss you today and forever Uncle Sidney. Thanks for all the love and we love back and more. Sheryl & Dwayne Whitaker

To Lydia and the young adults, I want to extend my sincerest deepest sympathy at this time. May God, Himself comfort your hearts and strengthen you for the harder days ahead as you miss your husband and dad. We will all miss cousin Sydney also. I remember his knack to have protocol at all our family reunion. He was that tall, strong and powerful voice in our midst. A force to be reckoned with, very strong and firm in his beliefs. I love him. May God be with you all in these unusual times of grief. You all are in our hearts. Love you all, Elfreda Cook.

I just want to share this memory of Sidney. We were teammates. This is a picture of the 1972 Teen Time Quiz championship team as we presented the trophy to the school during the 1972 graduation ceremony. I am holding up the trophy with Sidney. Members in this picture are (L-R) Olive Murray, Coleridge Doe, Sidney King, David Morris and Samuel Freeman.

My condolences to the King family and friends. Although I never had the opportunity to sit and speak with Mr.King, other than our brief encounters, I always knew Annie was the loving and caring women she is because of her parents. I remember many occasions when I would be with Annie and she would receive a phone call from her dad that would end with us laughing because you know “our parents are always asking questions and being nosey”. We never realize how meaningful those calls are to us until we know we won’t receive them again. Even though Mr. King will not be here with us in flesh he will always be here with us at heart. He will live on through the love of his family and friends. Love you Annie, always here for you.🤍 -AE

Uncle Sidney, it’s been tough to find the words. It’s been a little over a month and it still just doesn’t seem real. Never would I have imagined that you would be taken from us so soon. You have been a consistent patriarch in my life.. patient, supportive, and encouraging. You always showed up for me and ensured your presence was felt. I am truly going to miss you. You were so proud of my accomplishments and happy to see me achieve life milestones. As my family has grown, you were right there along the way to let us know that we are loved and supported. You and Annie were the first ones to visit us at home after we had Avery and since then you have consistently been a presence in her life, regardless of how shy she has been towards you. We promise that she will know how loved she was by you. We promise to share stories with her and keep your memory alive in our hearts. We love you always Uncle Sidney and promise to continue be there for Auntie Lydia, Sidney, Lionel, Annie, and Raven. Love, Demetria, Maurice, and Avery ❤️

This really hurts. My heart goes out to the King family. I am praying for you, Mrs. King. For the few times interacting with Mr. King, and all the small talk with him - will forever be remembered. I am thankful that the last time I saw you in NJ for the surprise party. It gave me a chance to speak to you and really see how much you loved your family. Mr. King - It is still a shock to me how everything happened. I prayed for you to get better and strength for your family. But I am thankful that you are at peace. You did an amazing job raising your children and I know they will continue to honor you. I pray they are protected and covered, always. Though you are not here physically, your memories will be present for those to cherish forever. May God bless you and your family. Bea D.

Still in disbelief my heart and mind still grapple with this loss. My Uncle epitomized this role in every essence of his being. I remember his presence and excitement in my younger life with words of encouragement. As I grew into my adult life a loving natural questioning concern in his voice followed by enthusiasm with with my updates. As I have been here, there and everywhere my visits home were less. But each visit that was blessed with his presence carried three things...a loving embrace, a smile, and that signature bellowing laugh. I am forever grateful for him. Auntie Lydia, Sidney, Lionel, Annie and Raven my heart is with you. Love Cousin Joycelyn

The King family has lost one of its reliable sons in the untimely home going of Sidney Wilfred King, Jr. a reliable and trustworthy person, Wilfred will be greatly missed by all those that came in touch with him. King, Wilfred, Sidney, Borbor were some of the names he was called by his relatives and friends. Wilfred, rest in peace, and may light perpetual forever shine on you.

Sidney was such a big presence in our church community and he will be greatly missed. I never grew tired of hearing "how are you doing dear" and seeing him every Sunday. He was the keeper of all the knowledge and one cracking jokes in our meetings and making us laugh. We were always in your prayers, Sidney...and now you will be forever in ours. -Kerrie

Papa otherwise known as "Annie's dad", treated me like a daughter. I can still hear his voice in his African accent saying "Hello Deja how are you? How are your parents." He held such a patient and loving demeanor. He was my best friend's rock and twin. The one she would call on for help, the one she would tease, the one she called "Daddy", just like Hillary Banks on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. He is already dearly missed but I pray his memory can continue to bring light and smiles to us because that's what I remember whenever I was with Annie and papa.

As I look back over time I find myself wondering …. If I remember to thank you enough For all the times you would call to check on us when there was a storm, hurricane or anything out of the norms For all the times you were by our family sides To help and support us all in every way you could…. To celebrate our successes To share and understand our pain and problems I wonder if I ever thanked you For saying, Nita I’m just calling to check on you all To let us know that you are there if we needed you And for the simple things Like laughter, smiles and times we shared? If I have forgotten to show my Gratitude enough for all the calls, support or little things you did, I am thanking you now and letting you that although you are no longer here with us, you will truly be missed Love you always uncle borbor!

Mr. King was a very passionate and well-respected man. I have always admired the way in which he carried himself and took on so many different roles, both personally and professionally. On numerous occasions I saw him lead by example, rather than by words. I will cherish all the memories and advice shared throughout the years. He always had a smile on his face and asked how you were in a caring manner, no matter how he was feeling. It was a blessing to have known him and he will truly be missed. -Kareem & Family

Man I gave Soo many stories as Mr.king as my boss. One day someone run the bell asking for Me king cause they saw his car. So I went to open the door and spoke to the person. They left I went in the office he said, what happened? I told him I handled it. He laughed and I passed him the person info... Everytime he sees me he asked me what I said...even yrs later🤣 #papa

It took me a long time to write Pops. You were like a second father to me, you always asked Lionel how me & my family were doing, you prayed for me more time than I can remember and for that I will always be grateful. I will always remember you. We lost you sooner than we expected, but you will always be in our hearts. Thank you for all your prayers, your thoughts & advice you gave me. Until we meet again. #LoveYouPops

Sidney I miss you dearly! We worked together for so many years in the County Clerk Office. You was my very first Supervisor in the Passport Division. I always poke fun at you when I told you that you were turning gray in your hair. As always your response will be because of you guys :) Thank you for kindness and especially your guidance you never hesitate to give an encouraging word.

Sidney, a decent human being and a good man, was my beloved brother-like co-worker and friend. We have been working together for so many years. We helped and advised each other on all levels of our lives in terms of works, conferences, religions, education, health, housing, and food--among many many others. In keeping Sidney in our memories, I continue to have his name in my daily attendance report sheet with "THOUGHT & PRAYER" in the remark. We will continue to pray for him and family. He is still with us .... Best, Bor-sheng (OARM) 2020-06-01

Thank you Sidney for all your help and guidance... May God Bless the King Family. Patrick Meehan, Hudson County Chest Clinic

Sidney was a kind, compassionate and dedicated public servant who will be sorely missed by all. Our condolences to the entire family from myself and the entire staff at the Office of the Hudson County Clerk. E. Junior Maldonado

Annie my Condolences to you and your family. If you need anything please do not hesitate to call me. Stay Strong. Frances

Sidney King was here with us, and now he’s with the Lord. My wife and I express our heartfelt condolences to Lydia, the children and the family. We will comfort ourselves with the thought that “All things work together for good to them who love the Lord” - Romans 8:28. Hne and Mammie Shannon 5/30/3020

Although we never met Mr Sidney, we believe he was an extraordinary man. You see, there are several references in the Bible that explain "you will know a tree by its fruit." We have met his son Lionel and can say he is a joy to know. He is kind, proud and possesses those qualities that you just can't define. We think his roots are from a strong tree of mahogany and not from a "foolish goat." 😀 Treasures of wisdom gleaned from Mr Sidney.We sincerely regret that we did not get to know him. Rest in peace my African brother.

Dear Sidney; Our loss is great, however it is compensated by our thoughts and memories of you. We are but mortals with our lives like a book between two book ends. We write that book in the way we live and yours tell a wonderful story of love, dedication, sacrifice and faithfulness to family church and community. I can attest to Gods presence on earth through the Holy Spirit because I've seen it in you, My Brother in Christ; My Friend.

Uncle Sidney, Acts 13:36 Says you have served God’s purpose in your own generation and have fallen asleep. May the Lord lead you, kindly on your journey home. Nanti yie... From the The Fosu’s & Arthur-Mensah’s

Even though I never got the honor to meet Mr. King, I can only imagine the caliber of a man that he was. I can only imagine the type of husband and father that he was off of how I see Lionel. Just off of me knowing Lionel, I can attest that he was a man of dignity, respect, honor, loyalty, a hard worker, a family man and the list can go on! When Lionel asked us to pray for his dad, here are some of the exact words that I said and I say this to you all right now in your time of bereavement “Dear Lord, please wrap your everlasting arms around Mr. King and the King family breathe healing and comfort into his body and for his family. In Jesus name, I continue to pray, Amen.

Although I never had the pleasure of meeting you, I was honored to meet your son Lionel in college. I was able to see the confidence you instilled, the respect you instilled, and the positive influence you had on him and others. You and the King family will be in the Chattman family prayers.

Whenever I came your way, your family opened there doors to me and treated me like family. Your Father and I had few conversations but the quality, sincerity, and love in his words I will always remember. Even though I'm far away at the moment I am always there with you, and even though you are far away from me, you're in every one of my prayers.

My family and I extend our sincere condolences. Our prayers are with you always. God’s speed. Tomjallah

My prayers are with the entire family. May God give you strength in the days to come. We don’t understand but we know there’s a purpose. Dear Sidney is no longer suffering and God Is giving him his rewards. I so wish I could be there with you all and I commit to watch the service. Until I can see you face to face, I send a spiritual hug💝 and will continue to petition the father on your behalf. God understands our hearts, even if we don’t have the words. I pray that you continue to put your hearts in His powerful hands and He will comfort you.

We hope that you find this tribute to Sidney a place of comfort, support and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.
