At least we know he lived a great life.

RIP, Walter.

You really were the most trusted voice in America.

And thanks for helping to end my generation's war.

8. 40 years + 1 day since his enthusiastic call of the Apollo 11 launch

He was as excited as a 7 year old when the Saturn V lifted off. I remember that almost as well as the actual landing.

note: IDemo does not mean to offend those whose lunar landing beliefs are not mainstream... :)

9. And he only showed emotion twice on air

1) When he had to announce the death of JFK

2) When man landed on the moon

10. This one hit me a little harder than I thought it would - even though I knew it was coming

I guess it's a bit to do with the death of true journalism altogether.

Very sad.

11. I'm glad that (so far) he will be remembered by everybody

without the MJ overkill

13. RIP. I grew up watching him, he was in our living room every

night.

We will not see the likes of him again.

:cry:

14. He was the essence of dignity and compassion and reserve.

And the best of what a journalist and a human should be. I have always considered him like an uncle or someone close to the family.

A wonderful soul.

Good night kind sir and peace be with you.

15. Mike Malloy opened his show tonight talking about Walter

...and how he represented so much more than "just another guy who read the news".

R.I.P. Mr. Cronkite :(

He's taking calls, if anybody wants to talk about Walter (assuming their phones don't crash again)
