It depends on the connection one has to the people. For instance, last night on the Tony awards they gave a lifetime achievement award to Stephen Sondheim, who was unable to attend. I can't be certain but I imagine it means he's unwell. In any case, it occurred to me that I'm going to be truly devastated when he passes away.

But in the case of Tim Russert, I just feel sorry that an important political/media figure I respected had a life cut so short.
