A very painful loss for many American families.He was a source to the world,to the news.He Reported,and anchored(& he was literally an anchor for all of us in the most uncertain & terrifying times in our lives) with a wealth of knowledge and personal experience that came across with such a real & sincere respect and responsiblity to all of us .Nothing better illustrates this mentally ,then during 9/11.In my living room was my famiily & Peter bringing us the details & with an amzing sense of duty to comfort every American ,in a way no other could.Sincerely it is such a loss of comfort & security knowing we/I will not be able to turn to Peter again in the so many times we did,to get "the real news" without all the sensationalism that so prevalis across other endless channels.I must commend the awesome 2 hour reprt on Peter that ABC did.I knew he was special but after seeing that I was inspired & in awe of what a real & special man he was.My condolences go out to his family & to his public whom obviously feels the great loss of a real special personal whom will stand as one of the best of us .Peace & blessings To you Peter Jennings

Hello. I'm a Marine with 3/25. I was wounded and sent home a few months ago from iraq, but I had the distinct pleasure and honor of serving with Castleberry. I met him in 29 Palms during the work up, and talked to him quite a bit. When we got to Kuwait, I was up his butt all the time asking him questions about Iraq and Kuwait, as this was his second deployment to Iraq. He sat down with me and answered all my silly questions and taught me a lot about what I was getting into. He was patient and intelligent, and he left a lasting impression on me as a caring individual, and a professional. I admired and respected him, and I am very very sorry I wont be able to thank him in person. God bless Castleberry, and his family. LCpl. McGill, 3/25
We have known David for years but just recently met his amazing Mom Anita. We now know how David turned out to be such a wonderful person. David was a true friend and will be terribly missed. Fondly, Sgt Jason M Foley and Kristen
It's hard to hear that one of your friends die. When I heard I got very angry at first because he promised me he wouldn't get hurt. Then I realized he couldn't really hold a promise like that. It is hard to believe that the boy I ran to whenever I needed someone to talk to you or the boy who was there when my heart got broken for the first time isn't here with me anymore. Well, I thought that at first. Then I got my pictures out and I got to thinking of all the good times we had together and I can still feel his presence around me at all times. He will always be there in my heart and in my mind. He was a very special boy. Well, I guess he wasn't a boy anymore. He was a very special man. I always knew he would make it out of here. He had so much potential. He loved what he done. When he would come back for visits, he was happy to be home, but he would talk about not being able to wait to leave again. He had such a good heart. I swear, it was made out of gold. His smile is what had me in his grasp. It was so beautiful. And his laugh just so adorable. He was so sweet and kind. He would do anything for anybody. He would give someone his shirt off of his back if they needed. But, he had his faults. I'm not going to make him seem like the perfect saint even though he was close to it sometimes. I do love him and I do miss him very much. I know his family and friends do to. I can't wait to see him someday again. I hope he will be waiting for me behind those pearly gates.
On Aug. 13, 2004 I had a heart attack, Aug. 14th my Dad died from cancer, Sept. 9th my Mom died, Oct. 1st my cat died, Aug. 1, 2005 my new cat died from leukemia. Then, Aug. 8th my friend, Peter Jennings, died. No, he never new my name nor did he ever give me a call and we never had lunch together but, every night he engulfed my living room with his smile, his tears, and his love for people, animals, and countries. His love for his job made me love what he talked about and also love the places he reported about. Never has there been such a man to sit at an anchor desk. I mourn with the world over this great loss. Mr. Jennings has been added to my list of significant losses in my life.
May God fill the losses in our lives with more of His love.
Thank you for allowing me to express thoughts today.
My deepest sympathies and condolences to the Peter Jennings family. They, and the world, have lost a GREAT man. I feel his loss as though it were a loss in my own family.
Your voice will no longuer sound in my home.But your face and memories of a job well done will never leave my heart. May you continue to watch for us and tell us the good news up above, God has his arms and a new job for you,we will see you again Peter, may you rest in peace. Victoria Durand
I feel like I lost my best friend. ABC did a great job and protrayed the facts just as he would have for a story that he would be doing. Giving facts his viewers would like to know. What a great person!
I have only known your family for a short time, but I got my best friend from you, Danielle, if it wasn't for you I would have never met her and Isabella would never have met Elijah. I promise you that I will try to make something of your sacrifice and you have my promise to love and always take care of Danielle and Elijah for the rest of my life. I always felt like I knew you well through your wife, and we pray for you every night, and always will. You are thought of each and every day that I live, men/marines like you are seldom found in life. God bless you.

Thank you for serving our country Jesse.. You were a wonderful friend to Pete and Eugene and I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet you. My prayers are with you and your family.
You are very missed among us. We can not start our gatherings without you. You left a big gap in ou lives in which will never be filled again. We love you, and always will, God bless you, we will pray for you forever onwards as your death is a deffinate shock to us all, and words can not tell anyone what sort of person you were and how much laughter and love you brought us, that is all now gone, and it doesn't seem the slightest bit fair, someone so precious, so lovely, we will miss you, and it is no wonder that God took you for himself, as i never knew anyone so perfect. It's a life truly lost.
May he rest in peace. He is a wonderful and remarkable man with talents as non college graduate to be an anchor on ABC NEWS. We will never forget him. May the Lord give you all the strength as the pain is going through with the suffering of your loss.
Our prayers are with you as you go through this time of great loss. I pray to God to give you peace that surpass human understanding. Peter Jennings was a great broadcaster and he will truly and sincerely miss him. He's been my source of world of news. I pray to God to rest his soul in eternal peace.
Life is so unpredictable. I think that is what kept Peter going! He was a man of undeniable talent-you can reflect on all of the professionalism that Peter brought to broadcasting. He will be missed, but take comfort that he lived a good life, and there is a brighter tomorrow!
TO THE FAMILY OF SGT. JUSTIN F. HOFFMAN MY SINCERE SYMPATHY GOES TO YOUR FAMILY IN THE DEATH OF JUSTIN. WITHOUT HEROES LIKE HIM WE WOULD NOT BE BLESSED WITH THE FREEDOM THAT WE HAVE.

My prayers are with the Montgomery family and friends who will deeply miss Brian's presence in their eathly life. Although I did not personally know him, from what I have read about him, I am sure he is in heaven now watching over you all and he too is proud of your courage, your strength, and your on going love for him and one another...May God wrap his arms around you during this extremely difficult time of loss and suffering.
Alexander - Your Daddy may be away from you now, but as you grow may God show you your purpose by being a testimony of courage to others and by becoming a great man like your Daddy was. YOur Daddy will live on through you...God bless you little one!
I admit to having cried when Peter's death was annouced, as did my 35 year old daughter. He will forever remain in my memory......from puberty to late 50's as someone I felt not only that I knew, but a trusted friend----rare to feel in the world of celebrity that someone has integrity in all things.....Peter Jennings was such a man.....I will never turn on the TV to watch the news that I won't miss you Peter.....My warmest thoughts to your family in their time of sorrow........I will see you up above and hear you again.....Gayle McEwen
Peter Jennings has been on my mind latley. I find myself crying sometimes when i watch interviews about this amazing journalist who brought us the world news nightly. He was so dedicated to his work and did it extremely well. I remeber watching him report on 9/11 and how he showed us that he too was human by trying to hold up at best, but even then breaking down into tears at times. Even though, he still sat there behind his desk and reported on this horrific tradegy and brought us all the up to date news as we watched unable to pry ourselves from the television. He was the guru of television news and will be greatly missed. My deepest condolences to his family at this time. He will be greatly missed and always remembered.
I am a fellow East Clintoner friend of Brett's. He was only a year ahead of me in school. He was such a great guy. Funny, smart, athelticaly talented. I always remember him saying things he was going to do, and always kept his word. Like one of my friends that was on track team him once recalled that he said, "I'm going to win today." And he did it. He never had anything bad to say about anyone, and vice versa. Such an all around good guy and a friend to everyone. He'd do anything for anyone if it meant helping them out and bettering their lives. He could be anything in the world he wanted to be. I knew that he could acheive his goals that he set to. And he aspired to be a Marine, which he did become. It was such a shock when I got wind of the news that he had been killed in Iraq. Harsh reality set in, and I broke down. We weren't best friends, but i knew him and he knew me. We talked in the classes that we had, and once even playing basketball at an open gym at the highschool. Brett, you will be so deeply missed by me, your family, your friends, and the this tight knit town of Sabina. My thought and prayers are with your family and other friends. I hope to see you again one day.
A friend always, Jessica Butler (Formerly Sullivan in school)
Peter, I will always be enormously grateful to you for the many times you informed me, an educator, as only an educator could. How inspiring you have been and will continue to be throughout the remainder of my life. You made this crazy, complicated world easier for me to understand-and accept. More importantly for me, however, was how your presence in my living room every weekday evening between 6:30 and 7:00 and during various crises and newsworthy events provided me with much needed comfort and reasurance. I will never forget the wisdom, encouragement, and courage you demonstrated back in the 80s when you did a special about HIV/AIDS on PBS. I had recently been diagnosed with the HIV not long before this ground-breaking special. You were a pioneer among journalists back then with regad to this disease. I gained much strength from you and realize that my current good health is, to a significant degree, due to your compassion and research about HIV. Also, on a much lighter note, thank you so much for bringing the world together as countries and regions celebrated the new millenium. I'll miss your intelligence, your polish, courteousness, compassion, wit, and cool. Rest in peace, Peter.
May God bless you and fill your hearts with all the loving memories you shared with your beloved father and husband. He will be missed by many. But lives in our hearts forever.
Who would have thought that a non american high school dropout would be one of the most famous news reporters in all the world and to travel all of
that world, my parents were REALLY honored to meet him in 2004 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for a
tapeing of the debate of the Presidents election to office...i kick myself now for not having a ticket may the Lord comfort you with HIS total peace!!!
I also want to thank you for helping me get done smoking cigarettes.
When Peter announced that he had lung cancer, for some reason his news resonated deeper in me than any other celebrity with lung cancer. I respect Peter and was truly moved by his story and confession about relapsing in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.
I smoked my last cigarette on the Friday before Mamorial Day, this year. I have not smoked a single puff since.
The news of Peter's death has, understandably, hit me pretty hard, since I thought of Peter as my inspiration for quitting. I think the best thing I can do now for his memory is to stay smoke free for the rest of my life.
I no longer smoke and I have Peter to at least partially thank. I thought that smart people could avoid lung cancer by being smarter than it, or something. Obviously that is not the case.
My prayers are with all, the family, co-workers and the family that accepted this great man of integrity into their homes nightly. We all have loss a great man of integrity and who is a role model to all and what Amrica is all about. Opportunity for all and he was that example. May God bless each of you and take this time to evaluate our life to make positive changes a realize that life is short no matter how long we live and that we need to live daily as if we are going to meet our creator daily and reach out to another daily to make a positive change and make our Nation Greater than ever.
I will always honor this great Marine Lance Cpl Eric J. Bernholtz. I know his older brother. I want to make my condolence to Adam Bernholtz and rest of your family. It was a great loss, but let's celebrate his life what he had done in this world. We all should be proud of him. As a U.S. cizten, I will be forever salute him as a true Marinie as well to other soldiers who got killed in the action in Iraq. He did everything as he could as a Marine who served for our country. He will be forever missed to our friends and family. May he rest in peace with God.
My deepest condolences to your family and friends. There will never be anyone to deliver the news like he did.Our day was not complete until we watch the news at night.God Speed. The Hayes family.
Peter Jennings was a reporters reporter. He made the hard decisions to cover the stories that others stopped short of. He will be missed in the media world. God be with him !
Know that your loved one is in a better place and that he protected our country to keep us all free. That in itself is a good feeling. Sorry for your loss. God bless.
I hope everyone who knew her and loved her knows she is still with us in our hearts and minds and truth be told that Private Frist Class LaVena L. Johnson was murdered and she is in a BETTER place than us all! God be with everyone at this depressing time....Bush what have you done?
Many people mourn the loss of this brilliant man, and news reporter. This man from Canada began at 9 on a radio show, and ended here, in the US, as World News Tonight's anchorman. Many say he died too young, and yes, he did, and no he will not be forgotten due to the impact he made EVERYWHERE in the world for 50 years. We will miss him. My condolences to his family, too.
The world is a better and wiser place because of Mr. Jennings. He will be missed by those who looked to his charm, wit and wisdom for information about world events. Goodnight, Peter.
I'll never forget Jason's smile. We met on a detail in the army, and we became instant friends. In the following months we grew closer, and he was always there to make me laugh, even when no one else could. His family are in my prayers...I'll never understand why someone with as much life as Jason had his cut so short.
Peter brought a very balanced view to the world of nightly news. I especially liked some of his Canadian pronounciations which, unfortunately, he tried to avoid in his later broadcasts. I will always remember him, because July 29 is my birthday as well.
Chris we will miss you so much at Christmas time. You always had a smile on your face and was always caring about your family. I watched you grow in the Lord these last few years and I am so very proud of you. You gave the ultimate sacrifice so that I can be free. You will never be forgotten. I will see you over in Glory Land. I love ya, Judy
I am sure your Husband, your Father, your relative, your friend has made it very clear what he would like you all to be thinking now. He was a man of talent,a man of wisdom, a man of humility and as a Canadian viewer, he always made me very proud. Keep his memory close to your heart and bosom and continue on as he would have you do. You, we, owe him no less.wisdom,dlikzariFathe r,
My sympathy goes out to Peter's family. Peter was the best of the best. He was a wonderful reporter and was a very distinguished and well respected man who will be truly missed.
my thoughts and prayers go out to peterjennings family. i am never one to watch the news every night. but, when i do, it was abc and peter jennings. i was watching the night peter announced he had lung cancer. it was like losing someone that you depended on to be there for you every night. but, i thought he would be back in a few months. i would watch almost every night, hoping to see his kind and caring face. but then came the sad news today. he was a great journalist and he will be greatly missed. may God speed.
i was once a good friend and you were very fortunate to share a life with him. don't think about this loss as a just that, think of it as christopher going home. you'll see eachother someday in the future, but until then...live your life for him and let his memory live through you. a friend~Akron,Ohio
Peter Jennings was one of the most engaging and charismatic news men ever. The first time I saw him I was totally enthralled with his voice and demeaner. I want to thank his family for this opportunity for giving him to us also. I know he loved what he did just by the look on his face. Please pass on my condolences to all who loved him. Now you can all know how widely loved your special man was.
To the Jennings family: Peter Jennings was a great journalist who will be missed as network news enters an age where opinion sometimes counts more then fact. I will miss the international bent that he brought to network news. His passing marks the end of a great age in news broadcasting.
I hope that in their time of loss and sorrow, Peter's family may find some help in knowing how many people were touched by his warmth and personality.
My mind returns to September 11, 2001 and the calming cadence of his broadcast that day and evening. There was something about his delivery that horrible day that was reassuring that, yes, the sun would come up the next morning and live would go on...somehow.
Peter, may your family find strength in your strength and those whom you have touched throughout the years.
Poor Peter, I am only 17 but I have been watching ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings ever since I was 5 or so. I will miss him dearly and loved his broadcasts. No one can ever replace this great man.
Mr. Jennings, was truly an American at heart. I listened only to Mr. Jennings because my children could listen to it with me and understand, yet not be afraid, or terrified. His voice was calming even then. My son at age 9 years old, told me that he wanted to be a news anchorman, like PETER JENNINGS. I was at awe that Mr. Jennings had made an impression of such magnitude on my 9 year old sports driven son. I never imagined that my children truly listened to the news. But true to form, Mr. Jennings once again came through with such grace and compassion. The world has suffered a loss that can never be replaced, especially for our future children who will live in these uncertain times. God Bless you Mr. Jennings and to his family, they are in my prayers.
My condolences goes out to the Jennings' family. He will be great missed. He was also a great man who in the past recieved his GED and was proud that he did.
As a GED teacher, he was the inspiration to my students. This created a great longing for those to get their GED and make something of themselves.
As a I said, my condolences goes out to his family. His was a great man.
Brad, I miss you so much. I'll never forget all the fun times we had at Grandma and Grandpa Harper's and the other family get togethers. One thing I'll always remember is your wonderful smile. You will be in our hearts forever! Love you, Michelle (cousin)
OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE JENNINGS FAMILY AT THIS TIME.THERE WILL BE NO ONE ELSE LIKE HIM TO DELIVER THE NIGHTLY NEWS. GOD BLESS. THE ARRINGTON FAMILY
Nick was a second son to me. My .Marine Son's best friend. My heart goes out to all of Nicks Family especially to his brother. Nick's huge heart and love for God, family and country gave him strength, knowing him, gives us strength
We try hard but it is impossible to forget you, and the very fine memories we have of you. You were so kind, so good, and so caring and though we knew this always but the whole facts have become more obvious that you are no longer with us.
We all so badly miss you every minute till we join you.
Tony, the first time your mum(aunty Marie) introduced you to me and some other friends , i thought it was going to be the end after that day, but, it wasn't cos i found out that you were just a different kind of person- very humble and friendly- the news of your death was truamatizing, to say the least.But i take consolation in the fact that even when death was staring closely at you, you still found time to carry out a corporal work of mercy - trying to rescue other people.You will forever be remembered by me .
Rest in the bossom of the lord till we meet to part no more.
You did a great job bringing America news from around the world; now rest in peace my friend. You will be missed dearly. My deepest condolences to your family
IN MEMORY OF OUR HERO, TRAVIS WHO WILLINGLY GAVE HIS LIFE THAT WE ALL MAY BE FREE. WE ARE GONNA MISS YOUR SMILE AND ALL YOUR HUMOR. JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED AND WILL BE IN OUR MEMORY FOREVER!!! TELL PA CLARENCE AND RANDALL WE LOVE THEM AND MISS THEM TOO!!
