In celebration of father's day, it's refreshing to see someone at the top of their field who is known by all his close friends as a caring and loving father and family man. Despite working impossibly long hours, traveling, having a demanding career, he is able to remember the importance of being a father. Through his books Big Russ and Me, and The Wisdom of our Fathers, he taught the importance of non-material values. The books are not what he made him professionally successful; nevertheless, he was a father first, a media journalist second. He will be missed. But his values will live on in his books.
