HE’S GONE TO MEET THE PRESS

Sadly, we have lost another one
Those folks who changed our lives
He was the one, who we all knew
From, Sunday morning, news archives.

He was one of those special men
Who, all Dads should strive to be
And a Son, who loved his Dad
The most important, his Family.

He never forgot his hometown
And the Bills, number one fan
He’d have a beer with the boys
Just, one of them, a common Man.

He's gone up to that Press Corps
To join all those passed before
He left a mark here on this Earth
That, will surely last forevermore.

I heard, “He walked with the Kings
But kept, the common touch.”
And we all are going to miss that
Yes, he will be missed, very much.

He was indeed, a cut above most, a media personality who was high-touch, not just high-tech. Tim Russert held everyone accountable for their actions, and always quested for TRUTH. Yes, we lost a really good one, and I will miss seeing him around for the November election.

I had a strong suspicion that you would be writing about Tim Russert's untimely passing.
I have been watching CNN and he was a giant of a man and in more ways than one.

Our home towns are only a few miles apart ~ but on opposite sides of the Great Canadian/American Divide ~ namely the 49th parallel.

Del, you did a marvelous job with this write.
