I keep reading all the beautiful condolences that people are writing about how much a part of their lives were effected by listening to him over the years.

Children’s Health Defense joins parents of vaccine-injured children and advocates for health freedom in remembering the life of Don Imus, a media maverick in taking on uncomfortable topics that most in the mainstream press avoid or shut down altogether. His commitment to airing all sides of controversial issues became apparent to the autism community in 2005 and 2006 as the Combating Autism Act (CAA) was being discussed in Congress. The Act, which was ultimately signed into law by George W. Bush in December of 2006, created unprecedented friction among parents of vaccine-injured children and members of Congress; parents insisted that part of the bill’s billion-dollar funding be directed towards environmental causes of autism including vaccines, while most U.S. Senators and Representatives tried to sweep any such connections under the rug.

Don Imus Leaves a Trail of Way More Than Dust
By Michael Riedel - The one and only time I had a twinge of nerves before appearing on television was when I made my debut in 2011 on “Imus in the Morning” on the Fox Business Channel. I’d been listening to Don Imus, who died Friday at 79, since the 1990s as an antidote the serious (bordering on the pompous) hosts on National Public Radio. I always thought it would be fun to join Imus and his gang — news anchor Charles McCord, producer Bernard McGuirk, comedian Rob Bartlett — in the studio, flinging insults back and forth at one another. And now I had my chance. I was invited on to discuss to discuss “Spider-Man, Turn Off the Dark,” the catastrophic Broadway musical that injured cast members daily.
Mike Lupica, a sports and politics columnist for the New York Daily News, appears weekly on ESPN’s The Sports Reporters alongside other sports know-it-alls like John Saunders, Bob Ryan, and “that guy with the funny ears,” as Imus calls Mitch Albom for the purpose of annoying Lupica.
Mike Lupica Barbara Walters has known Imus for a long time, and puts up with his shenanigans in order to talk about important things, like her latest television special "A Matter of Life and Death," which focuses on heart disease and airs tomorrow night on ABC at 10pm.
As the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, Malcolm Hoenlein’s job description is decidedly vague, a fact he acknowledged during his first ever interview with Imus today.
Despite Imus’s best attempts at getting former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Republican, to admit he was running for President in 2012, he was unable to procure such an announcement this morning. But he did get Romney to promise that if he does run, as he did in 2008, he’ll actually try to win this time.
Mitt Romney Deirdre Imus concentrated in Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies at Villanova University, but admitted today she was not in a position to provide insight on the events currently transpiring in Egypt. Or, the way her husband heard it, Deirdre got As because she wore cute outfits, and really didn’t pay much attention to what was going on in class.
