I always chuckled when I recall the story about getting his wife a ladder for her birthday :-)

One of the most brilliant economists. A great loss to all.

Damn, he was one of the greats! R.I.P., Walter, we’ll carry the torch as best we can.

God speed, Walter Williams. You were truly a great man.

After Milton Friedman, Walter Williams was my favorite economist and commentator.

May he Rest in Peace. Prayers to his family, friends and associates.

A man like Walter Williams will be missed greatly.

Funny and humorous: he gets 100%
Logical and precise: 100%
Intelligent: 100%
Patriot: 100%
Constitution as written: 100%
Fearless: 100%
Eloquent 100%
Tolerance for bad logic: 0%

God’s speed Mr. Williams. You were loved by many and if one looks at your enemies it only makes you greater. Your enemies were scum.

I sent an email to W. Williams once that said Rush made a big mistake putting him on Rush's show. Why? Because Walter did a better job!

HE actually wrote back asking me to keep the faith. A truly fine man indeed!

Willams was a trailblazer, a brilliant common sense, self-made made man, who showed the world what America has to offer anyone who wants to make something of himself and contribute positively to the greatest capitalist society on the face of the earth. At his passing, everyone should reflect on his life’s achievements and be reminded how different it would have been in a totalitarian regime. His life is a testament to what this Country offered Williams, and still offers any man regardless of race or color who has the motivation to excel.

“Black by popular demand.”

He was my favorite columnist. I also loved it when he took over Rush's show.

This is very upsetting.

Very sad. I used to enjoy listening to him guest host the Rush Limbaugh Show around Christmas time. RIP Dr Williams.

I attended George Mason University (Econ grad program). Never took a class from Walter, but used to see him around campus.

Walter was freaking hilarious. When he sub'ed on Rush's show, he told the audience about the Christmas gifts he'd get for his wife -- like a new apron, new ironing board, or new ice cleats "so she could wash his car in the winter without falling."

LOL, OMG he must have paid for those wise cracks big-time, when he got home. I laughed so hard - and I'm a gal. Hahahahaha!

Will miss him so much, RIP Walter!
