Kirk, who died on February 5, 2020, had two sons, Michael, 76, and Joel, 74, with his first wife Diana Dill, before divorcing in 1951.
Kirk’s eldest son, Michael, married Catherine, 51, who is exactly 25 years younger than him in 2000.
The couple announced their engagement in December 1999 before marrying at the Plaza Hotel in New York, after Michael completed his divorce from his first wife Diandra Luker.
Michael and Catherine, who turned 20 last year, have two children together – son Dylan 20 and daughter Carys, 17.
