Tim Russert, 'Meet the Press' host dies

Public Statement
Mayor Byron W. Brown
June 13, 2008
 
(View Tim Russert Memorial Proclamation)

On behalf of the residents of Buffalo, New York, I express our shared sadness and shock at the news of Tim Russert’s death.
An accomplished journalist, who first gained his experience in the world of government and politics, Tim Russert rose to become the premier political journalist of his generation.
But more than his professional accomplishments, Tim Russert cherished his family, friends and his hometown. He never forget his roots in South Buffalo and he often reminded his television audience and guests
of his strong affection for Buffalo, particularly his beloved Buffalo Bills. He was truly our city’s greatest ambassador and he was loved by everyone in Buffalo and Western New York.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Tim Russert will always be remembered for his passion, hard work, honesty and dedication to his family. 
To honor Tim Russert’s memory, I have ordered that all flags on city property be lowered immediately to half-staff.
