‘David Koch has passed away at the age of 79’

EXCERPT:

VARNEY: "Let's get back to that news we told you about at the top of the hour. David Koch has passed away at the age of 79. Jackie DeAngelis with us now. Jackie, you have some statements from his family?"
DeANGELIS: "Good morning to you. That’s right, Stuart. He was 79, advanced prostate cancer. He had a grim diagnosis. His brother, Charles, issued a statement. I will read you part of that. Quote, 'While this is a very sad day for us all, I want you to know that David was proud of the extraordinary work you have all done to make Koch Industries the successful company that it is today. He will be greatly missed, but never forgotten. He is leaving behind his wife, Julia, three children.' Julia also issued a statement, I'll read it to you. 'While we mourn the loss of our hero, we remember his iconic laughter, insatiable curiosity and gentle heart. His story of childhood adventures enlivened our family dinners; his endless knowledge rendered him our 'walking Google.' His sensitive heart had him shed a tear at the beauty of his daughter’s ballet and beam with pride when his son beat him at chess. We will miss the fifth link in our family.'"
