RIP

...and he had just returned from a vacation in Italy.
Oh, man...& Sunday is Father's Day.
Not good.

Returning from his son's graduation from college in Italy.
My heart goes out to his family.

People dying in their 50's is way too young. Seems like he died like my father-in-law (another great guy). You're feeling a little off of your usual then all of a sudden it hits and it's too late, no warning signs.
He will be sadly missed. |

He really was a giant among men in his field, and a brilliant and just man. One of the few public figures I've really admired. Peace be with you, Mr. Russert.

RIP
