The untimely passing of Tim Russert just days before Father‘s Day, seems to have given all of us a reason to take a look back at the extraordinary books he authored. Although so well known as ‘the Mayor of Washington‘, or as the tough interviewer at the helm of the Meet the Press ship on NBC, it‘s almost as if he was put on this earth to help people understand and appreciate the role of a father. Whether you had a dad in your life or not, reading Tim‘s books and hearing his passion when he spoke about his own father, you can‘t help but deeply respect those men out there who have worked hard to raise their children in the best way they knew how.
‘Big Russ and Me‘ and ‘Wisdom of our Fathers‘ could end up being the best selling Father‘s Day gifts for years to come, but the lessons and insight both books embody are timeless. These books will make you laugh and cry, and stop to remember some of your own personal experiences. This multi-layered personality brought us into his soul and found a way to bring little bits and pieces of so many lives together to make two moving, heart-warming literary classics.
