On the recordJune 17, 2008
By talking about ``Big Russ'' his father and writing about ``Big Russ,'' Tim was reminding us that he always knew whatever he did on his program, what was important, that family was important. He was not a politician but imagine what kind of politician he would have made? Can you imagine what he would have done in political life? Tim took an old, respected format and made it new. Tim revolutionized his species of broadcast and branded it as his own. Our hearts are breaking but our hearts go out to Maureen, to Luke, and especially to Tim's beloved ``Big Russ.''
