    He had one of the most distinctive and comforting voices on TV. He and Ed Bradley were the heart of 60 Minutes...RIP.

    Mr. Wallace was a pioneer in many areas of television.
    A great journalist - another giant gone.
    His reporting made a real difference in the public perception of many historic people and events.

    Thank you
    RIP

    Just saw the piece on MSNBC. He was a great journalist, and he will be always remembered for 60 minutes.

    RIP Mike.

    RIP Mr. Wallace
    An MLB.com reporter asked what one thing Votto couldn’t do. “I can’t skate or play hockey,” Votto said. “Well, I can skate ... but I can’t stop.”

    I felt like he would be around forever.

    He was *the* voice of 60 minutes from the time I was a little kid (when the show first started), RIP Mike and, job well done.

    He was incomparable.

    I can just imagine him approaching St. Peter at the gate, exclaiming, "I'm Mike Wallace."
