Mr. Cronkite helped form my perceptions of a newsman. He left an indelible mark, and I am saddened to learn of his passing. May he rest in peace.

He was a symbol of confidence, trust, and you could believe what you heard in the news.

I vividly remember his coverage of the Kennedy assassination. One of the few times he showed true emotion on air and it reflected how the whole of the country felt at that moment.

No one will ever be the type of news anchor Mr. Cronkite was, which makes his passing all the sadder. He stood for something that simply is no more.
