Since hearing this sad news, I have had a sad heart. I loved listening to him on EIB!

Two great men, Herman Cain and Walter Williams the last 6 months....

God bless their family and friends with peace.

Hearing his voice was comforting, his words of intellect so strong and insightful. Rest in peace. I and my mom and and dad loved you. May you embrace in Heaven!

Condolences to family and friends of Walter. I heard him many times filling in for Rush. Many times talking reverently about Mrs. Williams. R.I.P., sir. love. Has he joined a spiritual battle? BLM.

And a fine tribute it is. From one great man who was good friends with another great man.

I remember one day when he was hosting for Rush, he had Connie with him on the show. The joking between the two of them going back and forth had me in stitches laughing for the duration of the show.

Yes, we lost one of our greatest today. I have read several of his books and always read his Townhall columns.

If I knew Walter Williams I would consider him my best friend too...

A GIANT pays tribute to a GIANT.

Who can possibly replace them, and Rush and Trump, among others when the time comes?

“I gave Mrs Williams golf cleats and a shovel for Christmas.”
“I never let Mrs Williams look me in the eyes. You never let the help look you in the eyes.”
(When it came to selling organs.). “ Mrs. Williams would never give my organs away... Oh wait. You mean she could get 10,000 for my heart”.
(To which his daughter called in and said. )
“You’d have to have a heart to sell first.”

What a great wit he had. I really enjoyed his work.
