A unique man, honest, firm and fair...a friend to all who knew him has left us far to soon....our sympathy and prayers go to his family and loved ones....

missed greatly...thanks for your thoughts.....
They say he just got back from Italy, where his son graduated, and his wife is on her way back home with his son. He had come back alone to prepare for the his upcoming Meet The Press show..Autopsy is now being performed.

In a world where the most of the American media has forgotten their role in helping to preserve our democracy, Tim Russert was a journalist of the old school. Murrow would have been proud of him.
