I am a female african american physician news junkie, and Meet the Press was part of my Sunday morning before church services. My sincere condolences to his family, wife and son. I shall miss Tim Russert with his honesty, integrity and genuine love for his family, this nation and its politics. My desire for my life is to be remembered as caring and being fair. I shall remember Tim Russert as one of those people. The portable white board in this historical presidential election will be missed this fall. God's Love, Critty Hymes MD

I will miss Tim Russert a great deal as we wind down in this seemingly endless election. His no nonsense, easy to understand way of interviewing guests and his commentary on the ongoing political scene was and is unmatched. His genuine excitement and enthusiasm of the political world made it interesting and exciting for me, and furthermore, I trusted him. My condolences to his family and many friends. The normal reaction would be that he was taken too soon but for those who believe in God , His son Jesus Christ and all that goes with them, it was exactly the right time. Karen, Federal Way, WA

Being ten years old when TV appeared in our American homes, I have seem them all, Edward R. Merrow, Lowell Thomas, John Cameron Swayzee, Charles Collingwood, Douglas Edwards, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley, I could name many more, but to no avail, there never was, nor will there ever be anyone like Tim.....He was the Larry Bird, of news, he was the John macEnroe of Tennis...Tim was simply the greatest journelest there will ever be. His enthusium, his excitment, his true love for the truth and the American way, I actually cried like a baby...how can we have politics, without Tim....his love for his wife, son Luke, father Big Russ, wow!!! He was Mr. America, my GOD Bless

A Great American

A Family Man. A Godly Man who believed that God has purpose for each of us in life.
Sincere, patriotic, funny, great values, high degree of integrity, perserverence, true to
his job, fair, always looked sharp and professional. The only journalist who took the profession to the next level. Loved to work out of the box, loved his use of the portable
white board. True to his parents. True to his wife. Raised a great son who will be honored to carry on his name.
Tim Russert a great man that everyone will miss. God's speed Tim

I am not a person who watches much news. I just knew when i wanted an accurate and clear explanation of anything, that i could count on Tim. I also have never put a response on any site of this kind. I did however want to express my condolences to his family and say that the funeral was magnificent. I know that you already know that you are not grieving alone. Please accept the love and good wishes of this stranger.

Tim Russert was so unique in America today. Because he was smart, courteous and charming in a Buffalo, boy- like way.
Tim was most unusual because he was not a child pf wealth. Now, it seems most who make it come from Ivy League schools and all doors are opened to them because of family money and influence.
How refreshing Tim was to come from working class Buffalo, and to remain proud of his heritage !
There ane none with his intellect and courage to confront the liars who come on Meet the Press to be interviewed.
I saw a clip of Tim confronting McCain and it was great.
As McCain lied, Tim showed video of his words to show the lies.
Tim had courage and we lack that in America now.
That is, in great part, why we are in deep economic troubles.
Where are the intelligent, articulate people of courage?
And don't tell me his son, as he is just a college kid!

We miss and need you, Tim.

God Bless

Timothy Russert was on "their" hit list from the moment he started puting his nose into places where "they" didn´nt want hit. A brave man, Tim. He knew what he was doing, knew the risk, but he took it, for the benefit of his fellow americanswho remain here. And what are his fellow americans going to do about it? Nothing, as usual!
They are all asleep, hypnotized by the Svengalis in the Whitehouse.
How can you all be so blind as to what is going on??????

I'm a 57 year old man. When the text message received on my cell phone informed me of Tim's demise, I teared up and cried like a hurt child. This is out of character for me. I was his age and felt he was 'there' throughout my life--and suddenly he was gone without warning. I miss him right now, even though we never met, there was this connection I had that pulled at my heart, making me aware how much he loved and was loved. He even went to Woodstock (the first one) as did I. It hurts even now as I type this. God Blessed us when he gave Tim to each of us.
