Statement From New York Governor Paterson On The Passing Of Journalist Tim Russert
June 13, 2008 -- "Today I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Tim Russert, a beloved native son of Buffalo, New York. A distinguished and dedicated public servant, he worked for New York Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan and in the administration of Governor Mario Cuomo. He then transitioned from government to become a fair, tough and outstanding journalist, quickly ascending to one of the most respected in his field.
Tim never forgot his roots in Western New York, and his hometown has always celebrated his great accomplishments. A graduate of Canisius High School, he is still known as a legendary Buffalo Bills fan. My heart and prayers go out to his family and colleagues, as New York mourns the death of this great American."
