Obituary
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Hollywood comedy writer Hal Kanter has died in Los Angeles at 92. He wrote for Bob Hope and Bing Crosby, directed Elvis Presley in "Loving You" and created the landmark "Julia" TV show.
The Writers Guild of America says Kanter died on Sunday. Daughter Donna Kanter tells the Los Angeles Times (http://lat.ms/vXH8Ck ) he died from pneumonia complications at Encino Hospital.
Kanter wrote for the Oscars show for decades and was among show writers who shared Emmys in 1991 and 1992.
He created the 1968 NBC-TV series "Julia" starring Diahann Carroll, the first sitcom to feature a black actress as a professional woman rather than a domestic worker.
Kanter also wrote the 1952 Hope and Crosby movie "Road to Bali" and Presley's 1957 movie "Loving You," which he also directed.

deeply saddened to have heard that news. I've always
thought of Hal as a mentor and
father figure of sorts. From the time I 1st met himwhen Abbe & I did his One Act play at some event that took place outside that was a great experience & honor to have been asked by Hal and Abbe to be in it. Then about 5 yrs later Hal gave me my 1st pro...

To The Hal Kanter Family,
I don't know the Kanter's Family, but one thing, I understand and know that to loss a love one in death is hard on any family.
The Bible tells us at Isaiah 29:8,9 that death will be swallowed up and there will be no more tears.
Jehohah God and Jesus Christ will give the Kanter's Family comfort and peace.
