Comment of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on The Death of Tim Russert

WASHINGTON, June 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is a statement by Senator Patrick Leahy:

He was a national treasure, and the news of his passing came with shocking suddenness and deep sadness.

He never lost his enthusiasm, and he lived every realm of his life with gusto. Tim threw all of himself into his family, his faith, his newsroom, the world of politics, and even his teams. His zest was infectious, and no one could help but like and admire him.

Marcelle and I offer our heartfelt condolences to Maureen and Luke and all of Tim's family and friends and associates.
