Tim Russert, "Meet The Press" Host on Sundays

Have u heard about Tim Russert, a host on NBC's "Meet The Press" every Sunday morning?  I do have heard about him but I never watch his Sunday morning shows cuz discussion of political issues is so boring to me.  I am not interesting into them.  I would like discussing entertainment (movies, TV shows, and books); spouses' and family's relationships.  Otherwise, Tim Russert passed away so unexpectedly last Friday.  I can't believe the death of Tim Russert when I heard about him.  I almost missed reading a part of the caption at the bottom of TV screen about Tim's death late Friday afternoon.  I said in a confusion, "What?" and then I went to check out the Yahoo News online immediately to find out.  There is in it.  Tim died 2 days before Father's Day!  I am going to miss him very much.  "Today Show" kept discussing Tim Russert all over the weekend, on Friday night, and Sat and Sun mornings.  I just learned Tim has had a heart disease.  I didn't know that until last Sat.  Could Friday the 13th be cursing him?  Maybe but I don't know.  I just figured it out.  This morning I just found out Tim did taking a stress test last April but it's nothing happening to him.  He was in a good shape and on heart medication.  Tim did an exericse but not much.  Anyways, Tim came over to discussing an uncoming election on Today Show with Matt Lauer and Meredith Vieira on sometimes early mornings.  He really LOVES talking about politics ever since he landed a job as political journalist in 1991.  Tim used to be a lawyer before that.  He was born and raised in Buffalo, New York.  I just found out Tim went to Woodstock in the summer of 1969.  Wow.  His father was furious when he found out.  Tim wrote 2 books, "Big Russ and Me" and "Wisdom of Our Fathers: Lessons and Letters from Daughters and Sons".  I haven't read those books yet.  I heard Tim's son, Luke, wanted to grab Tim's chair from the set of "Meet The Press" cuz Luke felt it's a connection to him when Luke came over there for the last time after his father died.  I guess it's like a spirit.  Who is going to replace Tim Russert on "Meet The Press"?  I don't know for sure.  We will find out soon.  Goodbye, Tim Russert.  We will never forget his legend from now on.
