I loved watching Ed do interviews on television and I will miss him. I was saddened to hear of his of his passing but I feel like he was wrong to disown his son for so many years. I'm glad he contacted him before he passed but you can't make up for all those years.

When I heard the news of Ed Bradley I was completely devasted by it. We have truly lost a treasure amongst one of our very valued and talented hard working individual. I am a Canadian working in the UK currently and always try and catch up on the CBS updates when I can. I would like to share my condolences to Ed's family and hope that his memory will be carried on for many many years to come. I will surely make a great effort to educate those around me of what an outstanding life Ed lived and how respected he was in an i

I am deeply saddened by the loss of Mr. Bradley. My heartfelt prayers go out to his wife and family. He was class personified and simply one of the most exceptional journalists that ever graced this planet. I think most will agree that he left us far toosoon but it certainly was a life well lived!

I thank God for putting Ed Bradley on earth and blessing him with such a great gift. I was saddened to learn of his death and surely missed his broadcasting. God bless his family throughout this difficult period in their lives.

-Dianne Bermuda

As a little black girl living in a cold white Canadian town, his presence on the TV screen on 60 minutes was what brought my family together every Sunday evening. His journalism was elegant in a true real sense. His black face a testament to me that we can be great. Shame on you Essence for choosing "Buffoon" Ditty and his mistress over Mr.Bradley for the cover. Idiots like the former have only successfully undone what Ed Bradley attempted; That Black people can be quietly elegant and educated.

"I shall die, but that is all I shall do for death" ~ Edna St. Vincent Millay When I get to the gates of heaven and St. Peter ask me what did I do, I'm going to say I watched Ed Bradley interview Lena Horne. Journalism and life is so much better becauseof him; just a beautiful human being and a gentleman of the highest type.

-Robert W. Lewis (SF)

What a classy gentleman! I've watched Ed Bradley for the past 20 years on 60 Minutes--he had a way of interviewing guests that made you feel--they've got to be telling Ed the truth. He seemed to be the type that although he knew he was terminally ill, he'd keep going until the last minute. He checked out at minute 59! He'll be sorely missed and 60 Minutes won't be the same. My sympathy to his widow and other family members.

I'm only 34, I don't know if alot of people my age watch 60 min. but Mr. Bradley was the reason that I watched. He had this "COOL" style, and very sexy. I will TRUELY miss Mr. Bradley, I feel like I've lost my Uncle or Father. My prayers are with the family. GOD speed!!!

-Redesha McCain-Birmingham,AL

I am sadden by the loss and my heartfelt condolences to his beloved family. I feel like I've lost a wonderfully funky, hip older brother. Being from New Orleans, I remember seeing Mr. Bradley on the stage at Jazzfest many timesHis love for jazz is legendary and only second to commitment to having intergrity and dignity in his reporting. His loss is keenly felt and ones could onnly aspire to be the kind of man (or woman) that he set the standard for.

When I look back on the old broadcasts of Vietnam when I was in grade school I remember seeing Ed Bradley in his early years. My dad was in the Air Force during that era stationed in U-TAPAO Thailand. He and my dad I know were in lots of danger. And could have easily been killed. We lost so many men and women. Ed Bradley almost lost his life when he was wounded. Dad came home in one piece. Though eventually I did choose to join the military and follow in my dad's footsteps. I still had big plans even when I was in the milit

-Patricia, Greenville SC

I just watched the "60 Minutes" tribute to Ed Bradley and was touched by all he did in his life. He was not only a intelligent African-American journalist, but he was an intelligent, genuine MAN. When I watched him growing up, I thought how caring he was, and how proud I was to see someone who looked like me in a field other than sports! My prayers and condolences go out to his family. Ed, you were Blessed and Highly Favored!

-Deborah- Jacksonville, FL

I'll really miss him on 60 minutes. What a shock! To know that as an african american, since there are so few successful journalist anymore he will be truly truly missed. I'm still in shock. It would have been easier to cope if we had known. May his family and friends be with the Lord in sorrow and peace. amen from bonnyville alberta canada

Like everyone else, I was shock and sadden by the passing of Ed Bradley.He will be truly missed. My condolences to his family. I always admired him and thought he was a great black jounalist. I was just telling my husband the other day how I thought Ed was growing old gracefully, and how I thought the earring made him look oh so sexy!!! (smile) The question now is--- who will step up to the plate now to carry on? I have not a clue....

-Dorise Cox - St. Charles, Mo.

-John E. graves II

He prospered and appeared comfortable in his own skin in a society in which African-Americans have to occasionally jump outside of their skin for acceptance and success. Success and self are hard to deal with at the same time and he did it so naturally.I have deep respect for this man.

Ed,(Mr. Bradley), was definitely a CLASS ACT! He was a marvelous role model, and as someone who studied journalism in college, I was proud to know that he was a Black Professional in the business who made us proud and gave us hope. I will miss him dearly. I loved his intensity and the way he laughed. What a great smile he had! I am also pleased to know that he was a great jazz fan; so am I. I remember listening to him on NPR broadcasting, 'Live from Lincoln Center,' and one particular evening Wynton andthe band perfo

Ed Bradley was a professional, he was intelligent, he was good looking and more importantly he was a brother on corporate TV with a beard and an earring. The man had it going on, and he made me proud!!! He will be missed, 60 minutes will never be the same.

-Monica, Upper Marlboro, MD

It hurts me very much to know of the passing of Ed Bradley. Truthfully, I just learned of his death as I was looking for something to read. My heart hurts as if I have lost one of my nearest and dearest family members. I really believe that Mr. Ed Bradley was one of the few people who attained "true freedom." As he interviewed people, the questions that he asked them just made them tell the truth. Even the people who sat before him marveled at his presence. Now he is in the Presence of the MostHigh God. Neither

Ed Bradley - What a man! Intelligent, cool, down-to-earth, and yes, tall, dark, and handsome. I told my son, a journalism major to use him as a role model. I'm sure CBS will continue to show his body of work. He will truly be missed. God Bless! Job well done!

As a pioneering Black journalist, we have lost a tall gentle giant in the media, and the world. What I will miss about him most are his award winning stories, his smile,the humor he displayed, his charisma, and the deep thinker that he was. Mr. Bradley was very perceptive and a great lover of people... I was always drawn to 60 minutes because I knew Mr. Bradley would have a thought provoking segment. My prayers and thoughts are with his family. That golden smile on 60 minutes will truly be missed...

-Debra A. Fisher - Houston

Ed Bradley was "one of a kind" and will be sorely missed. I can recall wanting to get home from the mall in time to see his 60 minutes shows because they were always interesting. Not everyone could get me to go home from a shopping trip--Mr. Bradley did! smile

-Lenise Y.

On behalf of my family and I, want to extend deepest sympathy to the Bradley family and friends. I was surprised to see Ed Bradley on 60 Minutes when he first appeared, but then very proud! His style of journalism made listening to the news enjoyable and the information was taken as truth. He will be missed by all who had the priviledge to know him, whether personally or just on television. He not only came into our homes on Sunday evening, but also into our hearts. He was a very real Brother and man..may he rest in peace

Ed Bradley touched my life. As a student he told me when I was 20 years old I was going to have to work harder and smarter to make it. Five years later, here I am believing and never forgetting those words. Bradley's passion for his work and deliveringwhat nobody else could was amazing. He inspires me to achieve excellence, just as he did. He will be greatly missed. May God Bless his wife and extended family and friends.

-Jessica Erkins

I am saddened as if I am a family member. Ed was consistently in my home via the television broadcast and seemed like family. He was a very talented journalist whose stories were always interesting and thought-provoking. I will miss seeing him on "60 Minutes".

I most certainly didn't know Mr. Bradley, but I grew up watching him on tv. I will surely miss seeing him and knowing that detailed coverage of news will NOT be the same. It feels as though we've (the African-American Community) lost someone very near and dear to our hearts. He may not have been a relative, but with Mr. Bradley, you KNEW he was going to get to the bottom of the story and leave no stone unturned. My prayers are with his wife and family.

I will miss his beautiful face, as well as his undeniable charisma and intellligence. Ed Bradley just seemed so grounded, like he really knew who he was.

I'll miss Ed Bradley's gentlemanly demeanor. He was professionally very thorough in interviewing so many people over the years on "Sixty Minutes", yet, never showed harshness to even the most dificult interviewees. He never ever seemed to become unhinged. He took time to think very objectively before he spoke on a particular subject. Plus he was such a distinguised role model for African Americans, especially young African American males. My most deepest and sincerely heartfelt condolences go out tothe Bradley family.

-M. Foster

I grew up watching African-American journalists such as Max Robinson and Ed Bradley. I have always admired their style and poise in front of the camera. The story was always more important to them then the storyteller and the truth was the most important part of all. Ed Bradley was a giant. He was the best at what he did and for those of us who watched "60 Minutes" for so many years we have suffered an incredible loss.

This gentleman was a true American. True, 60 Minutes will never, never, be the same but God needed him up there to watch over us down here. Rest in peace Ed.

Journalism is better because of Mr. Bradley. His natural curiosity, style, integrity, grit, and ability to put his interview subjects -regardless of the topic - at ease is a study in journalistic chenistry.

One of the most exciting days of my life was over 20 years ago when my family moved to the Chicago area. My father took us on an "expedition" into the big city and lo and behold who do I see walking down the street but the one and only Ed Bradley. Thiswas in 1978 and at 13 years old I was in awe of this strong, handsome, accomplished black brother. He hugged me, told me to take my studies seriously and welcomed us to the city...I've been in love with him every since...My you rest in peace Ed Bradley,you ran a great race

My condolences go out to his wife and family. He was a pioneering journalist who was unafraid of challenges. I've always admired him as a journalist because he never changed his style. Ed Bradley has been true to himself for as long as I can remember.In this day and age of trashy journalism, Ed Bradley stands as a giant in the field. He was quiet and gentle, yet a tough journalist. He will be missed.
