The greatest broadcast journalist in the history of the trade. I remember someone saying that listening to Walter broadcast the news was like listening to your grandfather tell you what was happening. As YMI pointed out, he once was chosen as the most trusted man in America. A monumental icon of American broadcast journalism, beyond David Brinkley, Lowell Thomas or even the legendary Edward R. Murrow. A giant among men.....rest in absolute peace, Walter. Your soothing and reassuring style certainly brought peace to many Americans of my generation who so vividly recall your magnificent descriptions of so many critical events in the tumultuous saga of American history in the 20th century.
We won't see the likes of him again so treasure the legacy, my fellow Americans.
"And that's the way it is" tonight as the immortal Walter Cronkite has passed away. I am very sad to lose him.
