A real strong spokesperson for working families in this state. I can remember him being my mentor when I first arrived in ’93 here and his encouragement of standing strong for working families. Dick was a gentleperson, a good person. Served in the Senate and in the House and we’ll miss him. I really want to send my condolences to his family and express my sorrow on the loss of Dick King.”

And in those days, the Boldt decision had already happened, there was a lot of commercial fisherman who were still very active here and lobbying, many of them were part-time fishermen, and many were teachers actually. But Dick was a good chairman, he listened to everybody, he worked very hard, and I think he served for thirty years here. So, I just wanted to remember Dick as a very good representative from the Everett area. Thank you.”

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT

President Habib: “Thank you Senator Conway, Senator Sheldon for those remarks. And on behalf of the Senate, we send our condolences to his family and of course we will have an opportunity this next year as we commemorate all of those of whom we have lost over this past year.
