ALBANY, NY (06/13/2008; 1835)(readMedia)-- Tim Russert was a dedicated public servant, an accomplished journalist, and a great New Yorker. He was one of those rare and talented people who could excel at anything they set their mind to, and he touched people‘s lives wherever he went. His unique voice, rooted in his deep respect for the integrity of government and the political process, will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
