As we here and watch the weekend coverage of Tim Russert it is important to remember the following
Tim should first and foremost be remembered as a great father and husband. His son and wife have our prayers and sympathies at this time. He wrote of his own father's hard work at two jobs, his middle class upbringing in Buffalo. He was an average American who lived the dream.
Tim was a great man all of us should aspire to. He is what the media should be. God bless him as he enters the unknown.
Rest in peace dear friend.
