Candace Nelson Instagram – 💔 In shock and sorrow over the sudden loss of a local TV legend, gentleman, family man and friend whose infectious enthusiasm brightened every room. #SamRubin From shared moments frosting cupcakes with his beautiful wife in my kitchen to countless @KTLA appearances, Sam Rubin’s kindness and generous spirit touched me deeply. We met almost two decades ago and instantly bonded over our shared love for cupcakes and his signature cupcake eating technique (swipe to see Sam demonstrate his “cupcake sandwich”). Sending love and prayers to his wife, children and KTLA family. Heartbroken. @samontv @ktla5news
