I gained the deepest respect for his coverage during the events of 9/11. I'm stunned.
Peter Jennings of ABC World News Tonight just died.

Who would have thought he would die before Walter Cronkite? He was only 14 years older than I am. Makes me realize that it is important to make my days count.

Even when he was diagnosed he still did the news. I like that, that's class.

I think he was a great man, and was hoping he would defeat the cancer.

How sad! I don't watch news very much so I missed the announcement that he had cancer. I had no idea he was 67 either.

Ya know...it was a surprise, but I had heard that he was battling some sort of illness.Peter Jennings is one of our 'exports' to the United States, and I do believe he took up U.S. citizenship.
He was applauded far and wide, for his 9/11 and post-9/11 coverage.
Peter was born and raised up here in Canuckistan (thanks Pat Buchanan...really). He took on a job down south (ABC) and did what he did best.
There are so many Canadian newscasters in the United States. I've lost count.
If there are any ... yes, any on 'FOX' I'll be surprised, but maybe not.
Remember him for his 'personal touch'. Here is some more information about him: http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/J/htmlJ/jenningspet/jenningspet.htm

He had a great deal of class and empathy. He was awesome! He had a great deal of tack, but still said it like it "is". I have been missing him, as ABC WNT is our primary dinner TV. Now he won't be back.
