Legendary TV anchor Tom Brokaw was spotted in Central Park this week, amid his lengthy battle with incurable blood cancer. The 84-year-old retired journalist, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2013, was in a wheelchair near the park’s pond. “He was in the wheelchair, with his wife and the home health aide, being wheeled around the pond. He and his wife looked so happy. It was sweet — sad, but sweet,” a source told NewsNation’s Paula Froelich.

My God bless him. I remember when he used to interview Reagan. I was never a fan but I wish him well.

I was at Central Park late this last July. I know that pond that they’re talking about. It’s a beautiful place and I pushed my daughter, who was also in a wheelchair, around the pond.

I hate the media with every bone of my body but I don’t remember having a problem with Brokaw.

My father-in-law had that. Really bad one. So very sorry for him. He’s like the famous musicians who are passing away now. He was our youth, whether we agreed with his politics or not. He was just There. Many people change so much as they age that they’re unrecognizable. Not us, of course. Just Them. But he hasn’t changed. You can still see the younger Tom Brokaw shining thru the older one.

Tom is a classic liberal, but decent. Nothing like today’s fake news rabid radicals.

Back in the day, there was a radio “shock jock” duo Opie & Anthony.

Opie was utterly talentless and a waste of space. Anthony Cumia, however, was a brilliant comedy guy and could do great impersonations.

One of Anthony’s best impersonations - even if it was a little over-the-top - was Tom Brokaw. This is one where Tom Brokaw is angry at Dan Rather for beating him to Afghanistan post 9/11.

When he retied, I quit with NBC (and all network news). I knew Tom was a lefty but he seemed to deliver the news as it was.

None of us knows what our daily routine will look like if we make it to 84 years of life.

Wonder what Richard Jewell would say? No, I have no sympathy for this servant of the devil!, remember the prince who is called the prince of the power of the air.

Old age happens to everyone, if they make it that far. It seems like he has family and good care.

You are correct. I wish Mr Brokow the best and gods speed in his next plane of life.
