That's sad.....he was a class act too.

He was definitely held in high regard by many and that is a reflection of his character. I think journalism lost a friend today.

Indeed - he was also a lifelong Yankees fan and sat on the board of directors for the Hall of Fame. Not only did journalism lose a friend, but baseball as well.

One of the few rational voices in Washington has now gone silent.

R.I.P. Mr Russert.

Gonna miss him during elections

And he wrote that great book about his dad.

vn2kbob · 06-14-2008

Yes, I remember him most about that book. Had much the same relationship with my Dad as well. Dad's gone now but not forgotten, especially on the Father's Day weekend. Call your Dad's everyone! Don't wait.....

Not just a friend, but a role model for young journalists to aspire to.
