I feel for the man's family, but feel no personal sense of loss or grief.

I think he did a decent job - more so than anyone in the media - of not accepting answers that were not real answers. However, I don't think he always asked the tough question. When he did ask, he'd go after his subject, but he certainly wasn't an attack dog.

What I don't understand, though, is the unending coverage on every news program on every channel, asking everyone how they will deal with the loss of Tim Russert. I applaud the one person I saw who said "I didn't know the man or anyone in his family. How can I be impacted personally?". The man did a fine job and was widely respected, but I don't see his passing as a 24/7 news event. Call me calloused, but I just don't.
