Statement from the family of Larry King:

We are heartbroken over our father’s death, and together with our extended family mourn his passing. The world knew Larry King as a great broadcaster and interviewer, but to us he was ‘dad.’ He was the man who lovingly obsessed over our daily schedules and our well-being, and who took such immense pride in our accomplishments — large, small, or imagined. And, through it all, we knew without a doubt in the world that he loved us more than life itself. He was an amazing father, and he was fiercely loyal to those lucky enough to call him a friend. We will miss him every single day of our lives.

The outpouring of love and the remembrances of his remarkable career have touched us deeply and we are so thankful. In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask consideration of a donation to the American Heart Association or the Beverly Hills Fire Department EMS, to which a debt of gratitude is owed for the wonderful care they provided to our dad in his final years.

With deep appreciation,

Larry King, Jr., Chance King, and Cannon King

Larry King’s involvement with Brooklyn Bagels. A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., King is very familiar with the area’s water…and the bagels! He believes in the product and is impressed with the Brooklynized™ water that is bottled, sold and used in all the restaurant’s products. King carefully selected The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. after tasting the product, meeting the dynamic executive management team and hearing about their aggressive expansion plans.
