Tim Russert's Dad Died Today

Several media websites are reporting the man who gave the world Tim Russert died today.  'Big Russ' apparently died of natural causes at the age of 85.  His full name was Timothy Joseph Russert Sr.  He was clearly a good father and friend to his family and those who knew him.  Ultimately one of his greatest contributions to the world was Tim Russert, who certainly elevated the political discussion for more than a decade from his seat in Washington.

His son, former "Meet the Press" moderator Tim Russert died June 13, 2008 of a heart attack.

Now, Luke Russert, Tim's son, suffers another death and difficult loss.  The family would rather donations go to the Alzheimer's Association than receive flowers.
