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!

-Holli

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.

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.

-Dr. G.E. McClinton

MY HEARTFELT SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY OF MR. ED BRADLEY. A MUCH RESPECTED AND COURAGEOUS VOICE FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THE BODY MAY BE GONE BUT YOUR HEART AND SPIRIT WILL FOREVER REMAIN. JOURNALISM WILL NEVER BE THE SAME. PEACE!

My brotha Ed Bradley walked this earth like a prince but NEVER forgot the common touch or HIS PEOPLE! NOW THE LORD HAS CALLED HIM HOME!

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

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.

Mr. Bradley will be truly missed. I loved watching 60 minutes especially when Ed did his presentation. He was a gorgeous well educated man with whom I am sure the women loved watching him. 60 Minutes will not be the same withou Ed Bradley. I miss you andMay God be with you and yours.

I am among the many who are feeling the loss of this great and humble man. Known as "Easy Ed" he made all those he interviewed feel at ease. He was a pleasure to observe and he is loss that can never be replaced. Ed Bradley will sorely be missed by all. God bless his family during this time of sorrow.

I lost my dad to this same sickness. When I heard the news of Mr. Bradley's passing, it was like losing my dad all over again. You have my deepest regrets. I know what you are going through. I just want to remind you that God loves you and he will see you through. Don't hesitate to lean on him.

-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.

-Latonya

He had such a cool demeanor. I just loved watching him. He was also pretty darn nice on the eyes(smile). Rest in peace Mr. Bradley and may God bless and keep his family during this time of grief and sorrow.

The greatest memorial to Mr. Bradley is to remember and respect all that he did in this life. We extend to his wife and family our deepest sympathy. We know that God is able to give you strength in this time of sorrow. You have our prayers.

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

My sincere prayers go to Ed's wife on her lost, but as a former classmate of Ed's (Cheyney State) I also extend my prayers to his child from his first marriage. God bless both of you.

He made us PROUD!

-Deidre Points Mercer

To Mr. Bradley's family & friends I say.... Treasure all the memories and happy times. God bless you all.

-M. McBean

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.

What a man! Handsome, intelligent, honest, private, down-to-earth. An excellent journalist bar none. May God be with his family who are left behind. -

-Bernadine Williams-Dormer, CT

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!

-Ginger

I'm at a loss for words I myself grew up watching Ed Bradley on "60 Minutes" with my family.He will be missed and always remember as a well known black journalist.

I am praying for his family. God gave then a jewel and now has called him home. I will miss his wonderful reporting and his knack of getting to the true issue of any situation. His life and legacy will be one that will be treasured by us all. He will truly be missed because he was loved for his total essence. A true measure of a man. Thank you for letting us share him.

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

-Dawne' Coleman, California

Just want to say that Ed Bradley was a class act with a capital "C". He will be sorely missed. And I must add, the man was fine as fine wine. May he rest in peace.

-K. A. Carter

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.
