Western New Yorkers remember Buffalo native Tim Russert

We are following an emotional tribute to Tim Russert. Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown proclaimed Father's Day Tim Russert Day at a vigil Sunday night.

We, Buffalo fans throughout the world, are mourning the loss of our favorite son Tim Russert. To honor Tim's memory I started a petitition to have his name added to the Buffalo Bills Wall of Fame. http://www.petitiononline.com/basenji/petitio... Please sign it and pass it on. I can see in my minds eye Tim smiling down from above when he receives this honor. Truly, he would be thrilled. Thank you!

Buffalo's lost one of its finest sons and one who was a tireless supporter of our town. Let his decent, strong and indefatiguable spirit carry us forth in our days.
