It's sad...I read it two hours ago on Reddit. It's sad he's not going to see the end of this election year. He was so passionate about it.

I always liked the way he questioned Politicians and put them on the spot. His interview with Cheney before and after the war is a classic of good reporting.

Reminds me of a friend's Dad... Died of a heart attack while killing some time playing solitaire on his computer before he left for his taxi driving job.

There's a song I keep listening to over the past few weeks which sums this up for me:

"I'm outta time and all I got is four minutes [...] If I die tonight, at least I can say I did what I wanted to do... Tell me, how 'bout you?"

I think the real questions are, did he die doing what he loved, did he leave any regrets behind? I for one am one who likes to stay busy but know my priorities. Could he have done more? Thats a question everyone needs ask themselves everyday. I remember a song I liked from Jakie Velásquez ( I believe that's her name anyway) "You've got to live every moment as though it was your last" Thing is if you shoot for no regrets you'll never make it, but you will be as close as you'll ever get. I see more legacy than regret (though I don't really know him), I just hope at my life's end to have the same.

As a fellow Buffalonian, hearing of Tim Russert's passing is like hearing of a childhood buddy passing away who you haven't spoken to in a few years. There is a closeness I feel even though I never met the man. Having recently lived in South Buffalo for a couple of years following my divorce, Tim is as big a Buffalo icon as there is. I was actually living around the block from where he grew up.

His devotion to family and his core life values were lessons for all of us to live by.

ATW, you're so right - life is so very fragile. Yet so many of us coast along through life with a feeling of invincibility. It could all end in an instant.

God Bless Tim. Rest in peace.
