He was one of my heroes.

Not the least for buying his wife a vacuum cleaner as a gift.

GMTA ;-)

RIP

Awww.....I just posted, earlier, on another thread how much I enjoyed listening to Walter tell his stories about Mrs Williams.

He WAS the funniest.

And, a wonderful teacher, to SO many, via Rush’s show.

This is so sad. Walter was a national treasure, and I loved it when he subbed for Rush.

We have lost one of the great ones. He had a prodigious intellect, balanced by solid common sense and marvelous wit.Rest in peace, dear Professor Williams.

Loved it when he guest hosted for Rush, especially when he had Thomas Sowell on.

For those who still laugh recalling his schtick regarding the late, great Mrs. Williams, while guesting hosting Rush, Walter provided this on his website:

the good wife's guide

Walter's greatest and explicit gift to us, also commonly cited when guest hosting:

Proclamation of Amnesty and Pardon

“Was he one of the few that taught TRUE economics - Free Market Economics - the voluntary cooperation between buyers and sellers in the marketplace free from government interference - the true “Wealth of Nations”?”

Jim, listen to him or read him and decide for yourself. That might be best.

I loved those bits. God bless Mrs. Williams for putting up with Mr. Williams all those years. I can only imagine how much those two loved each other...(otherwise, I wouldn’t want to be around that house on Christmas Day!!!)

he was a giant and was one of the first people to truly explain in very easy to digest pieces why taxes are such a corrupting force.

his story of a guy giving money to a poor person vs a guy who decides to help the poor by taking your money and giving it where he decides was such a crystal clear laser beam focus on the issue behind all leftists...

his chats with Thomas Sowell were nothing short of remarkable. the sheer brain power in the room when they were chatting created its own gravitational field...awesome to behold...

rest easy Sir, you deserve it. Prayers for his family

today however is a terribly sad day for the rest of us...
