We will miss him sorely.
Even those who did not agree with him politically still heaped praise on him for his writing style and skill. Kurt Vonnegut once said how much he enjoyed reading Buckley's work.
One of my fondest teenaged memories was reading Bloom County by Berke Breathed in the newspaper and seeing this cartoon:
Rest in peace, Mr. Buckley.
