My talk for Ric de Azevedo's (My dad's) funeral service

[@daledemetropoulos5418]

Such a genuinely nice guy. I had the blessing of knowing Ric during my youth in the Sherman Oaks Ward, he was such a positive influence on all of us. Your eulogy was beautiful, thank you for sharing. His passing came as quite a shock. We share in your loss, such a nice guy. Heaven is definitely a brighter place today with Ric’s presence & effervescent personality.💔

Oh Jennifer, I had no idea your dad had passed. I was a big fan of him and the whole family. Your tribute was beautiful, and I am an old man sitting at my desk crying now. God bless you.

Jennifer, I'm so sorry for the loss of your dad. I've been a lifelong fan of The King Sisters, The King Cousins and the entire King Family. I only recently discovered your KZbin channel and I can't tell how much joy I get from watching the videos, many of which I remember when they were first broadcast on the family TV show. Ric was always one of my favorites with his movie star good lucks, great singing voice and easy charm. Upon learning of his passing it was like recently re-connecting with an old friend only to have him suddenly taken away. I've watched the video of him surprising Alyce at Christmas time, while on leave from the service, several times and it's really tough to watch without some tears. My parents took me and my sister and our younger brother to see the King Family in concert here in Chicago. I'm probably close to Ric's age now and both my parents and younger brother are gone now leaving just my sister and me. I would have loved to share your videos with them for a trip down our family's memory lane. I can't watch this video yet but just wanted you to know how many fond memories I have of your family(as if I knew everyone personally) and how much joy they brought to my family. Again, my condolences to you and your family and everyone who loved Ric.

I too spoke at my father's memorial service. When I got up from the pew, approached the podium and looked up facing the congregation, I was shocked to see how many people were there. At 6'6 and Paul Newman blue eyes, he was always a charmer and had charmed many people. Even though he always meant what he said at the moment, he rarely could back that up. It was nice, although I am sure, it was difficult to share your stories. You probably have a ton more. Sharing stories is a wonderful way to keep the memory of our loved ones visable in our hearts when we can no longer reach out and touch them. God Bless you and your family.

Jennifer, thank you for sharing the testament of what family means, the love and talent we have always enjoyed. Thank you for continuing to let us get to know you all. God bless you, Ric.

Oh Jen I’m so very sorry for the loss of your precious dad. I loved watching you and your sweet dad as you cooked together and sharing stories about your family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Jen and your beautiful family at this difficult time. I pray our lord will surround you and your loved ones with his mercy grace peace and his abundant love and comfort. I’ve been missing your videos wondering how you’re dad was doing. God bless. ♥️🙏

Hey comments about your father was really touching. I know how hard it was for you, because I had to do that for my own father's funeral over 30 years ago. But your father had a great voice and a look when he sang that I consider him almost a soul brother. So I'm not going to use the same cliche as most people do but I'll keep you in my prayers and the whole King family because they brought joy into my life and still do. And to make you smile I've subscribed to your Channel and I have all of the videos that you have posted.

Nice, From the heart! 🙏

That was a truly lovely tribute to your dad. I'm struck by your description of the man he was and how, even though I only knew him through television and video, its seems that he was exactly the person I imagined he was in real life. We watch The King Family holiday specials every year, and every year I cry when he comes out in his uniform and surprises his mom. This year, I'll probably shed a few extra tears. Bless you and your family. Thank you for sharing with us. Big hugs to all of you. ❤

Dear Jen & Family. Just happened to think of you not knowing of your dads passing. I am very sorry for your family’s great loss. Your dad was a handsome & talented King Cousin & I enjoyed watching you guys in the kitchen together. Thank the Good Lord you can have wonderful memories of him. May he be happy with the Lord & those deceased family members in Heaven. And peace to you, your brother & mom as well as the whole wonderful King Family. 🙏🏻🕊

[@funnyside6]

So sorry for your loss. I have always enjoyed the King Family and was very excited when I found all the youtube channels that show so many clips and shows. Was Ric the first "cousin" from the show to pass?

[@MissJennifee]

Thank you. Don was the first cousin to pass.
