Celebrity death that bummed you out the most...

Walter Cronkite is dead at 92. IMO, the last of a breed that we will never see again in our skills bereft, be-pretty-or-be-unemployed TV media.

Uncle Walter was a journalist first and a television personality second. His reporting carried a gravitas that cannot be denied. His reaction to the news of the successful moon landing was so incredibly human and honest that the image will never be erased from my mind.

Although he hadn't been seen regularly on TV for a couple of decades, he will be forever missed.
