Walter has left the building for the last time. Age- 92

What an amazing career.

What an amazing personality.

This man could have become President of the USA if he had decided to run.

It is difficult to find the words fitting to express the admiration Walter had from a nation that invited him into their livingrooms every night when he anchored the news. Walter reported the news. He never made it up like so many of them do today. Walter was the most trusted man in America. We will miss him.

He will be missed. He made so much History and a Great part of it. The First anchor in History the term was coinded by Him.

I watched him broadcast the death and funeral of President Kennedy. He was very stately.
He loved to sail and had a very large yatch.
Reguardless of the political state of things he had class.
He will be missed

A great man is gone.

I don't know how great a man he was as Cronkite was another person promoting one world government. He was a great newsman. slkpk

Truer words were never spoken. He saw it all,and reported it as it was.

I remember watching him on our B&W TV when I was a kid .. my parents hardly ever missed a broadcast

RIP Walter

I vaguely remember watching Walter Cronkite on the news, but mostly I remember "This is the CBS evening news with Walter Cronkite. In for Walter Cronkite, I'm Roger Mudd."

Funny I won't miss him at all, definitely leaned to the Left.

I remember a series called "You Are There" where Walter and some other's would "report" on a breaking "historic event". Good shows, great for kids back when American History wasn't poison.

Yes, he was a sailing enthusiast and so was I, but there's where we parted as he sailed off on a broad reach waaay to the left of the rhumb line... In later life it was this diversion from reality that took away much of his credibility. He did make a big mark though and earned a place in broadcasting history. IMNSHO He couldn't carry Edward R. Murrow's equipment bag though.
