'The most trusted man in America' dies at 92

I was surprised and a bit sad no one else has posted on this, but well, I guess that gives me the opportunity to step up.

I'm saddened to hear of his passing, but thankful it's not another story about a life cut short. It's been quite a while since he brought us the news, and televison reporting has changed quite a bit since he stepped away from it, but he was one of the pioneers of television reporting and I feel it would be a shame not to mark his passing.

I've collected a few stories and commentary about the man & his career, both as my poor & inelegant tribute to the man and as a source of information to those not familiar with him.

Cronkite and the voice of authority gone
Friends, colleagues share memories of Walter Cronkite
'And that's the way it is': The best of Walter Cronkite

RIP Walter Cronkite.

He really was a beacon of hope for a lot of Americans, including myself..

Oddly enough he was the reason I went to college, which I ended doing something completely different, but he was my inspiration as to why...

We once again have lost a treasure, and nobody will ever come close to being able replace the amazing that was HE!

To me, He was the King of Journalism, just like to many, MJ was the king of pop!!!

Truly missed!
