William F. Buckley, Jr.

Really sorry to see this guy pass. I didn't necessarily agree with many of his political views, but he was an adept debater, with a thoroughly logical argument style that I tried to learn from. He held an incredible lexicon, and regularly exercised it - enabling expansion of many others'. I won't forget the guy, nor one of his short essays titled Why Don't We Complain?. Worth the 2 minute read if you find yourself in front of it.

I agree--a sad day when such a bright, witty man leaves us. Who will ever take up where he left off?
