Walter Cronkite 1916-2009

Walter Cronkite passed away today.
I tried to think of someone in today's television to compare him to, to explain what an extraordinary figure he was to people of my generation and older, but I can't think of anyone in modern newscasting of the same level of significance.
My personal memory of him is one many people have seen, announcing the Apollo 11 landing.
Good night and have a pleasant eternity in Heaven, Mr. Cronkite.
