He was definitely a treasure for sure !! Buffalo has had a lot of very well known and talented people come from the area over the years .

 

Rick James, Brian Mcnight, Goo Goo Dolls, Billy Sheehan, & one of the first i ever heard of was Cory Wells he was 1 of the lead singers for 3 Dog Night, i know i'm dating my self but he was a great singer !

Never left because my soul doesn't let me ... My brother's and cousins have all moved away to Boston or Los Angeles or San Diego or Tennessee 

 

But here I am ... Still have my family home on the east side of Buffalo even tho I reside in cheektovegas

Russert's book, Big Russ and Me, is a great read especially for folks with a city of Buffalo background.  The father/son bond can be special.

I loved that book. I even sent an e-mail to Mr Russert after reading it. He took the time to send me a very thoughtful message in return. I’ve always appreciated that.

I saw a movie on some streaming services recently, called "Buffaloed".  One of the actors was the writer, and he was from Buffalo, and the movie is full of inside jokes that most Buffalonians would get.  Example: a character is eating wings at work, and someone asks him where he gets his wings.  He says, the Anchor Bar, and someone else yells out, what are you, a tourist?  Anyway I thought I'd toss out a suggestion if you're looking for something to watch.

I had a brief interaction with Mr. Russert and he was as genuine as you would expect from a Buffalonian.  It was the summer of 1987 and I was living on Nantucket with some college buddies.  We went to a place called the Westender in Madaket and Mr. Russert was there with his family having drinks and dinner.  I waved and said "go Bills" and he replied the same with a big smile.
