Charles Entenmann, who helped franchise Long Island family bakery, dead at 92

By Jesse O’Neill
March 8, 2022

Charles Entenmann, who propelled his family’s New York bakery into a national brand, died in Florida last month at the age of 92.

Entenmann, his brothers and mother expanded the Bay Shore business across the region and eventually the country, following the 1951 death of his father William Entenmann, a German immigrant who opened the bakery in Brooklyn in 1898, according to its website.

His family sold its cakes-and-cookies enterprise for $233 million in 1978, which is more than a billion dollars in today’s money, Newsday reported. Entenmann’s still operates under new ownership, but closed their Bay Shore plant in 2014, the article said.

Entenmann’s. The crumb cake is great.
They have a display at the end of the aisle (that's a Seinfeld reference).

Their product is in every grocery I have ever been in in California, so I would guess them to be a national brand.

Those made it as far over as Maryland when I was a kid. I know a guy from Pennsylvania who loads up on them when he goes back to visit (from ND).

By Joseph Wilkinson
Mar 18, 2022 at 9:20 PM

John Clayton, the ESPN NFL insider who became a fan favorite in an eccentric commercial, died Friday. He was 67.

“John Clayton passed away today at a Seattle area hospital,” ESPN’s Chris Mortensen tweeted. “His wife Pat and sister Amy were at his side and communicated earlier he passed peacefully after a brief illness. We loved John. We are mourning his loss.” ...

The reserved Clayton, always seen in eyeglasses and suit, famously flipped his personality for a “SportsCenter” commercial: blaring hard rock music, living in his mother’s home and rocking a secret mullet. ...

In 2007, Clayton was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a reporter. After ESPN let him go in 2017, Clayton continued hosting a radio show in Seattle on 710 AM KIRO. He also wrote columns for the station’s website. His most recent writing ran on March 10. ... Chicago Tribune
