One of Buffalo, NY's favorite sons and leading ambassadors. He was always proud of his roots. I watched his son Luke interviewed by Matt Lauer this morning and his composure was amazing. I was so impressed by him. I know his father would have been proud. There is a park here named after him and they had a candle light vigil in his honor last night. My daughter asked me this morning who will replace him. I told her it will take a LONG time to replace him. He will be a very tough act to follow. God bless his family.

I have listened to Luke Russert on XM 144 - one of the early morning sports talk shows, for quite some time now. I did not make the connection between Luke and his father Tim until a few months ago. I think the show is a simulcast of an ESPN radio sports talk show. This morning while driving to work they replayed some of the Matt Lauer interview with Luke. I too was amazed at his composure.

I was shocked to hear the news too. He will definitely be missed and no one will ever be able to replace him.

Definitely a tragic loss of a very intelligent man with high morals and standards. I will sorely miss his forums and reports.
