He was one of the few moderators who refused to ever let his show turn into a shouting match event. He had such an affable presence on the air.

 I think that's what always struck me about him--he was such a good moderator, never letting things get out of hand, yet so polite at the same time.  He certainly left big shoes to fill; I don't think they will ever be filled.
