    The one text by Cronkite that I know seems strangely apt:

    Good lord, I didn't realize how old he was. 92 is a VERY old, respectable age to reach.

    RIP Walt!

    Rest in Peace, Mr. Cronkite.
    It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.

    Mr. Cronkite set the gold standard for TV news reporting. Watching the evenings news was never the same after he retired. RIP
