Whether he was interviewing a US president, foreign leader, celebrity, scandal-ridden personage or an everyman, Larry liked to ask short, direct, uncomplicated questions". 

It further reads, "He believed concise questions usually provided the best answers, and he was not wrong in that belief...Ora Media sends our condolences to his surviving children Larry, Jr, Chance, Cannon and the entire King family". The funeral services and a memorial service would be announced later in co-ordination with the King family, who "ask for privacy at this time" as per the statement.
