It's been said that no parent should ever have to bury a child. Yet that is exactly what "Big Russ," Tim Russert's father, will have to do.
Tim Russert died today in his office, hard at work. He was 58.
I didn't know Mr. Russert, never met him, never spoke with him, knew him only from watching him on TV. Yet if only half the good things that have been said about him are true, then we are all diminished by his passing.
Jeff Zucker had this to say:
“We are heartbroken at the sudden passing of Tim Russert. We have lost a beloved member of our NBC Universal family and the news world has lost one of its finest. The enormity of this loss cannot be overstated. More than a journalist, Tim was a remarkable family man. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife, Maureen, their son, Luke, and Tim’s entire extended family.”
Amen. Rest in peace, Mr. Russert. God bless.
