Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, the son of legendary CBS News correspondent Mike Wallace, has released a statement regarding his father’s passing over the weekend (Via the AP):

My Dad was everything you saw on television: fascinating and funny, challenging and exasperating. He was the best reporter I have ever known. And while work often came first for him, over the last 20 years, he worked hard to make connections with his family. He became my best friend. And at the end, he was surrounded by children, grandchildren, and even great-grandchildren. I already miss him terribly.
