I didn't watch him a lot, but he was a classic. He was kind of a grandpa, kind of the old professor. I am certainly saddened by the loss, but he did live a life of experience.

He set the standard what a TV news anchor should be.

I can remember his reaction when he broke the official news to the nation that President Kennedy had died.

Also, I saw him a few times in Edgartown, M.V., Massachusetts sailing in the harbor.

He was the best IMHO.

Another great Missourian has died, Cronkite was born in St. Joseph, MO. I remember watching him on TV when I grew up.

A true classic--one of a kind. It was too bad CBS couldn't make more use of him after he left CBS evening new.
