public, something vastly more important to him than the fame and wealth he also enjoyed.

· He saw his beloved son graduate from Boston College.
· The last days of his life were spent with his wife and son in Italy on vacation.
Blessings of Death

· His death was quick. He did not linger in pain or suffer the indignity and frustration of lost
abilities.
· He went out on top, at the pinnacle of a remarkable career.

Tim Russert.
