Zalman King Obituary

Godspeed Zalman, and thank you for sharing a part of your life with us.

In Trenton when young, me and parents and brother would break Yom Kippur fast at Zal's parents home.
Later, Zal was in a low budget film filmed in Israel. He was Jesus and I was an extra. I was amazed when he recognized me, leaned down from his donkey and gave me an enthusiastic hug. Wonderful person. Sorry he went before his time.

Surprised to learn of Zalman King's death! His movies are the best! In watching "Pleasure or Pain" I was shocked to read of his death in the credits!! I own almost all of his work! The loss of his talent is deep!

My condolences to Zalman's family. I'm another former friend from Zal's growing-up years in Trenton. I remember most about him that he was considered "not a snob," that he was friendly to everyone, including me, that he attended my parties when others snubbed me (people rarely snub me anymore). I'm glad he achieved success in his life. Blessings on his memory and to his family.

Sincerest condolences to the family from a former Trentonian who used to play 'catch five' ( a Trenton card game) with Zal on the porch overlooking Cadwalder Park. Part of my family were very close to Zal's sister and parents. May he rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy to the family, and friends, of Zalman King. And the regret to his fans, like me, who will miss him and his vision. His works were inspirational to me and lead me to write, and eventually create, erotic stories & films. Zalman King's films are a benchmark for others as well as myself. "Women of the Night" is visually entrancing, but even more arousing are the sounds & music, which King blended with a master artists perfection. He is missed. Always. By me and the world over. Zalman Kings' films will keep him in our minds, and hearts, forever.

I was sorry to read of Mr. King's passing. As young TV viewers of the 1960s, my brother and I were fans of Mr. King's. His name would still come up in conversation on occasion. My condolences to his family.

My condolences to the family of my childhood friend, Zal. We met in Bradley Beach where he was a phenominal long distance swimmer in the ocean. We took a long bike ride together in my hometown, Kearny, but he had to wait for me to catch up. I visited him in Trenton and remember his stories. So sorry to hear of his passing.

My condolences to the family of Zalman King. I do remember him from some old tv shows and as Muley in Gunsmoke. He was a very good actor and will be missed I am sure by all of his loved ones and friends. May the God of comfort be with you all during this most difficult time.

Dear Chloe,
We worked together on Liebestraum in Binghamton, NY in 1990.
I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. At least now his suffering is over.
With Deepest Sympathy,

I wish to express my condolences to the family. I know that your loss is great. May you find comfort from the God of all comfort who helps us to cope with our grief. It can be so hard to face each day without your loved one, but the love and support of family and friends and, of course, our loving Creator, can help to ease the pain and sorrow. Again, please accept my sincere condolences.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

My sincere condolences to the King family. May the hope of Paradise with the prospect of living forever bring you comfort.-Re21:4

Rest in Peace Zalman.

He always intrigued me.

Condolences to the family from another former Trentonian who has vivid memories of Zal as a teenager. I may not have known the word "charisma" then, but I knew it when I saw it.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Zalman family!Loved his movies!

Psalms 147:3 says that God is healing the brokenhearted ones, And is binding up their painful spots. May this provide comfort for family and friends of Zalman King during this difficult time.
