'My children—my young children, older children—the happiest I ever am is if they're all in the same room together,' Grammer told Variety last June. 'My work has allowed me to be able to do that. I've been given this great experience. It's been painful and challenging and hard and tragic—all those things. But boy, it's a great life. And I want to pass that on to them.'
In the same interview, Grammer hinted that some of his children might want to follow in his footsteps in the entertainment industry.
'Kayte and I were talking about how it's really something that a child would follow in their father's footsteps,' he said. 'To think that all my kids, at least the ones that have a hand in the air, are ready to take responsibility for their lives, are all drawn to this industry. [Kayte] said, 'That's something to be proud of.''
Last May, Grammer told People that he's been 'playing catch up' with his older children.
'I have neglected a couple of the kids in my life, especially the first two,' Grammer told the outlet. 'I'm trying to make up for a little of it now. I'm still their dad, so you can always have [a] chance to show up.'

He also said he's trying to make sure his own kids learn from his past mistakes once they have children of their own.
'I probably should have been a little more clear and maybe less tolerant with the older ones,' he said. 'I'm pretty tolerant with the young ones, but I'm clear about how there's certain expectations and certain ways to navigate through a social situation: keep it close to the vest and play it straight, and you're going to be well-served in your life. I'm a little more specific with them about doing their studies and being prepared. [I tell them], 'What's your job in life? Showing up.''

She earned an English and communications degree from Canisius University and went on to a job as a headhunter but hated it, she said in a 2008 interview with The Post-Standard of Syracuse. Having always loved cooking, she soon enrolled in the Culinary Institute of America, for which she later taught. She graduated in 1996, spent a year at an Italian culinary school and then worked in upscale New York City restaurants for a time. Burrell began hosting her own Food Network show, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, in 2008 and her TV work became a focus. Over the years, she also wrote two cookbooks, Cook Like a Rock Star and Own Your Kitchen: Recipes to Inspire and Empower, and was involved with food pantries, juvenile diabetes awareness campaigns and other charities. Burrell is survived by her husband, Stuart Claxton, whom she married in 2021, and his son, her mother and her two siblings. — With files from The Associated Press
