His easy manner and selfless conduct earned him respect with officials at functions and the solid friendship of fellow prelates. Cardinal Heenan told the CATHOLIC HERALD:"He was a gentle and friendly man, whom everybody admired and loved.
"The Bishops wilt miss him more than anyone for two reasons. First. he was learned in the liturgy and was president of the National and International commissions for English in the liturgy. Second, he was always available to his brothers to give practical advice, which was invaluable to them."

Portsmouth loss
Archbishop King, who had been Bishop of Portsmouth since 1941. celebrated the diamond jubilee of his ordination last November 20. He received special permission not to attend the Vatican Council and celebrated his jubilee with a simple Low Mass at Winchester.
He was born in Wardour, Wilts on September 16, 1880 and was ordained at the age of 24 in Jersey by a missionary bishop from China This was why he often joked that he had a "yellow streak" in his orders. On July 15, 1938 he was consecrated Auxiliary Bishop of Portsmouth by Bishop Coster, whom he succeeded on June 4, 1941. In 1954 Pope Pius Xil conferred on him the personal title of Archbishop in recognition of his long service to the Church.
Mgr. Sydney Mullarkey, who was Vicar-General of Portsmouth di ocese until the Archbishop's death, said in tribute this week that "he was a most loved and revered Bishop. A whole chapter of the history of Portsmouth diocese has gone with him, and to all his priests and people this will be like the loss of a father".
Mgr. Mullarkey had known Archbishop King since he was appointed curate to him in 1939. He continued: "One could not work with a more charitable. kind and fatherly man. He was humble and yet very knowledgable, and he never burdened other people with his own problems. His death is a great loss to Portsmouth."
