Dammit Steve... you are the only thing worth watching anymore.
Steve I am sorry for your loss. I hope he rests in peace. I want to correct you, you said only those that loved you unconditionally are gone, there are many many more you inspired with the beautiful stories that hold you dearly in their hearts. I am saying this and I am located far in the Middle East. You are loved Steve. I am sure your dad is proud of you and so are we. Stay strong. Love from across the world.
Beautifully said!
Wow, he speaks better English then most of the people here, and he's not even from here.
Anas Al-Oweidi wish I could say something about that, but my tears are burning my eyes. Thank you Steve for the words etc.
I have no one to unconditionally love me and it feels emotionally remote. You are lucky you feel or think otherwise! I live in the usa.
Anas Al-Oweidi fully agree I'm in nz and I follow your stories Steve. Your kindness and love for others shines through in your stories and you truly are a gift to the world. Love from this kiwi
Seeing Jeff Glor moved by this story is one of the things I appreciated about him as an anchor.
I haven't watched CBS news since they fired him. I just go to CZcams every Fri evening now for On The Road.
@@jamesjimmy1953 I did the same for quite a while.
Beautiful tribute. I smiled, laughed and I cried.
Thank you for sharing this. You have put to words what I feel - "No one left on earth to love you quite so unconditionally." God bless you.
That line also woke me up. My dad is 75 and getting weaker every few weeks :(
This brought me to tears, especially Glor's heartfelt reaction. Hartman is a penultimate story teller and this one is no different from the others except for its intensely personal connection. My father is 92 and I see the parallels of simplicity and selflessness. Thanks Steve and my condolences.
A wonderful tribute to your Dad and our Dads, too. You will have those memories forever.
Thank you for sharing your private life with us and being honest, there's no dry eyes here after seeing that.
So much like my dad. Miss him still. Thanks for such a heart-felt piece, Mr. Hartman.
in a time of acrimonious politics, distrust, division among citizens and rancor, it is heartwarming that Jeff Glor and CBS end their segments with a story to reinforce hope and compassion. Steve Hartman's story embolden the heart and warm the soul and this one about his father was particularly impactul. Jeff Glor was obviously moved, and in my mind this is what makes him one of the very best of the network news anchors. Thanks Steve, Jeff and CBS for always ending your segments on what counts more than anything else. Human compassion, dignity and hope.
What an amazing tribute. It's true. He's like everyone's dad. I'm so sorry for your loss, Steve.
Hard to type through the tears. Thank you
Thank you for Sharing your stories.
He raised a fine son and taught him well..
Steve your father is still with you. Not in his physical body but in spirit. I teared up watching your beautiful tribute to him.
I lost my mother recently...made me an orphan...but the greatest loss was my Daddy, six years ago...
He was a man of simple pleasures, but gave me the only care I ever knew...no one seems to mention him much, and what a shame that is...his heart was golden and kind and is so greatly missed...
Steve I just wanted to say everyone loves you you frill us up. We were all love you Unconditionally
Yes, I feel a whole lot of love for you and Im very thankful for what you do (from sweden)
Beautiful tribute to your dad. May he rest in peace. The older I get I see more of my dad in me. Good dad's leave a lasting impression on their sons (and daughters too)....
Steve, your parents spirits are always with you. 92 is an amazing age to live to on earth. My dad was just 63! I would have done anything to have an extra 30 years with my dad! Know you are never alone. Keep talking to your parents- they will visit you in dreams when you spirit is drifting. x
I lost my mom 3 years ago this week. She was the same generation as Steve's dad, and so many of the ways he described his dad were like my mom. The accidental humorist, focus on saving pennies, a foundation of faith and family, and a level of selflessness you don't really see anymore. The way he described the loss of becoming an orphan, "a unique kind of emptiness when there's no one left on earth to love you quite so unconditionally," but also how "remembering them in all their glory can make your heart fly." Thank you for sharing your dad, and reminding me of my mom in ways that made me smile through the years. It was a special generation of people we were so lucky to have as parents.
What a dad. I wish he was mine. Lucky loved you Steve💕
It gives you pause. As the oldest, I realized when my Mom goes there won’t be anyone left who knew me my entire life.
Steve, they are the best generation ! Lost my Dad, 6 years ago, and miss him also ! My Mom is 93, and love her dearly , and she is the best ! Hope you always have fond memories of your Dad and enjoyed the story !
What a beautiful soul your dad was.
Beautiful
How did I miss this? That is exactly how I felt…. like an orphan. ❤️ Thank you Steve Hartman for all you share, but particularly this sweet piece of your life.
I saw this when it first ran, and I’m still smiling at the memory. I love Steve Hartman.
Very special feeling I too am a Dad of 4. Divorced 20 yrs ago and vener forgotten the pain. Lost my Dad a few yrs back and now understanding more what he tried to teach and show us then. Awesome story telling. Our home is not here..but with Jesus..
Steve, I am very sorry for your loss. I am an orphan too. Memories NEVER die!
A beautiful tribute!!! The greatest generation indeed.
I still think of this story when I'm decluttering, I would never get rid of my rosaries. Your dad seems to have been able to talk to anyone and it's a gift you have as well. I think of my dad every day. A great dad isn't a perfect person but loves you unconditionally.
To the Son of George Hartman,
You are loved unconditionally more than you can fathom by connectivity of telling stories of the human spirit.
Always
The only person who could do this story justice - the equally compassionate Jeff Glor.
Such a touching tribute! Thank you. I'm an orphan also.
I became an orphan recently and I loved this story so much. Thank you ❤️
So sorry for your loss Steve, I don't think I've ever seen any of your stories where I have not cried. You are a great story-teller, your father and mother raised a wonderful man.
Thanks for sharing your love, his love and your passion for sharing kindness and love and making half the nation smile and laugh so very often and yes tonight you made me cry. Bless you you have many people who love your work, me included
So true, no one I think other than mom and dad can love you unconditionally. 😪😪
My father is dying. I saw this a coupla months ago, and along with so many, it resonated. I'm getting ready, this helps.
You are such a good tribute to your father. He really grew you right. I never had the blessing of knowing my father. You are blessed and a blessing. May God bless you always.
Steve, you're every father's son. It's good to see the way you've honored your father and your relationship with him.
I’ve always loved Steve Hartman’s traveling stories, but had no idea he grew up within an hour of me and we both graduated from BGSU!
Sorry for your loss Steve
Steve, I wanted to say THANK YOU for sharing your Dad with us over the years, he was funny, kind and was a joy to watch. I lost my Dad in 2007, so I know the pain. They say (and I've always wondered who 'they' was) but I heard they said the pain lessens in time, well I'm still waiting for that time. Our Dads were of the same generation, the 'greatest generation' and they called them that for a reason. My heart swells with pride when I think of the special moments as an adult I had with my Dad as I know you also have those bitter sweet memories. I am also an orphan, both Parents have passed and it makes you look at life differently, doesn't it. All I can say is continue to do what's in your heart and what you know that is right and it will continue to make him smile from up above. I think all our Dads are up there having coffee looking down at us and telling stories, and are glad they are out of the rat race for now. They paid their dues and then some and have finally earned their rest. You made your Dad proud, anyone would be proud to have you as a Son. And thanks again for sharing your Dad, he was precious to us as well. {{{hugs}}} from Texas.
A very moving tribute.
Sorry For Your
Loss Steve From
Houston Texas
Steve, I’m so sorry to hear of your losses. You’re stories are beautiful.
So sorry for your loss. What a wonderful way to honor your dad and family and how generous to share it all with America. I love your stories. As a cop of 28 years, I often watch your stories whenever I'm in writing a report. You remind us all of what really matters and all that is good in the world. Thank you :) I'm sure that your dad was so very proud of you.
STEVE.....YOU MAKE YOUR FATHER PROUD..............THANKS FOR SHARING HIM..
I loved when he took the RV with his mom and dad.
I, too, lost my 91 year-old father this year and am now an orphan. I know what you mean about having a hole where the love used to be. I give myself the freedom to mourn, but only if I also take some moments to rejoice or remember good things. One needs both for healing.
Sincerest condolences on the loss of your father, Laura. How blessed you were to have his love and wisdom for so long. I just know he loves you from afar.
Your dad was a gentleman, this is seen in the qualities in his son ....Steve
My condolences to you, Mr. Hartman! I've lost both my parents, also. Thank God for the lovely memories!
The only people who love you unconditionally are truly your parents , and I have lost them both years ago . This story made me cry 😭
Thank you Steve. Miss you Jeff!
I'm soo sorry Steve for the loss ..he is heaven watching you presenting us on the road...I love you Steve
This story - be it a few years old - brings back fond memories of my father, who passed away in 2011.
I'm one step closer to being an orphan, as my mother is reaching 80 years old and lives with my wife and I (my wife's father passed away 25 years ago - her mother 12 years ago).
I don't watch (or like) CBS news - but I enjoy with great fondness Steve Hartman's on the road. He brings a human quality to his stories that many news programs have lost.
This one hit harder - as I loved my father dearly.
I can only pray that I am half the man my dad was - and always try to do better today than I did yesterday.
I miss my father ...
Oh my here l go crying again. Lost my mom 2 years ago and it still feels like yesterday. I am 45 years but boy does it hurt. Love you mum
Wow. thank you for sharing your story this brought back so many memories about my own dad it’s true what they say you never know what you have until it’s gone. thank you God bless. 👍👍
Dear Steve; thank you for this and for all of your beautiful stories. You are so right, losing someone whose day you can make, just by walking through the door and existing, is the most unfixable hurt ever. Nothing and no one can replace them, but please know (and take some comfort in knowing) that there are so many of us out here in TV Land who know exactly how you feel, who adore you, and who stand shoulder to shoulder with you in spirit. That generation was indeed like no other. We were all so fortunate to have them. Love from Salt Lake City.....
Steve, thanks for this beautiful story, which I have watched several times after my father died a few weeks ago, and through tears each time. Your tribute to your father captured so many of the generational traits that our Dads both exemplified. Thanks, and please keep telling stories like this one. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
There are no words to say, other than I am deeply sorry for you and the worlds loss of such a great man.
Just know that there are people out here this many months later that are still praying for you and your family. I know that it can be tough at times, especially this first year of "firsts" without your Dad, but try to see him in the beautiful everyday things that you encounter. He lives through those things and through you and the stories you tell.
May God Bless you and your family Steve.
“That dog real?” That one got me
Thank you for sharing your dad with us. My condolences. May he RIP.
My Condolences to the Hartman family. I enjoyed watching the stories about Mr. Hartman, sen. Even Jeff Glor had to blink away his tears...
So sorry for your loss. What a beautiful tribute ❤️
Steve, I’ve been binging On the Road lately and I want to thank you for being a consummate story finder and teller, and thank you especially for this one. I lost my second parent three years ago, and I’m still feeling like an orphan. Thanks for bringing joy and meaning into our everydays.
And now I know why Steve is such a great guy!😔
thank you steve. miss you jeff
God Bless Steve Hartman and his dad too. We love them both. 🙂❤❤❤👏👏👏
More often then not, we are shaped by and ultimately reflect the figures who raise us. The lovely and respectful manner in how you describe your father personifies his love for you. A truly incredible tribute to your father and all fathers. Thank you for sharing. ✨💗
May his soul forever find peace :)
Have so appreciated the stories of your father. Dad's like yours are so desperately needed, especially today! Thanks so much George, you have left a legacy.
Steve, I just have seen this. Your dad had to be great for raising you. Peace/Shalmom
Omg I'm crying. Unconstitutional love is a parents gift. Steve many strangers care about you too. So sorry for your loss. Kentucky 💕
Your dad seemed like a great and loving man. It was so sweet that u and ur brothers and ur kids we’ll have this memories for a life time. May George Rest In Peace
Lucky you to have a loving dad. Miss mine too. Steve.
My heart broken from watching this 😢
So sad...breaks your heart....but...his fathers spirit will be with him every single day! Memories will never be lost.
Steve, you are an amazing soul. I've watched so many of your videos including those with your kids. Your father reminds me so much of my late father who passed over 15 years ago.Still have mom who turned 94 on January 29th. Your stories have and share so much positive that this world needs. Thanks for doing what you do. God Bless you and your family and friends Steve! Scott from Niles Illinois.
Steve, Sorry for your loss. Keep the faith. God bless.
You sir. Make me realize how special the people around us are. Especially our family. But the best is how you make me thank my friends and family as well as the others around me. George was a father 0f yours, and you are about the same age as me. Steve, you have always and will be something I go for good feelings.
Beautiful tribute!
Nice to know that my father wasn't the only one who had trouble with cell phones.
God Bless your Daddy and Momma for all their simplest of life they raised an AMAZING DADDY, Husband and someone who brings smiles to ALL no matter who they may be
Dear Steve, you did a wonderful tribute for your Father. I live in Ohio also. My Mother will be 95 years old this May. Prayers to you and your family😥
What a beautiful and loving tribute, you had me laughing and ended with tears that are still falling. May your dad rest in a better place Steve.
Loved the story and so sorry for your loss! ❤️
Beautiful. You’ve done a great job, sir. Rest in peace.
Wow, I seem to be coming across so many touching stories about Dad's today. My Dad was the exact same way, he always had a story about the "Good O Days" & coming up with funny lines. I became an orphan this morning at 6:35am CST. He would have been 95yrs old on Aug 7th 2021. love you Daddy & I will miss you terribly.
Steve, thank you very much!! I love all of your stories about people all across the country. I lost my father several years ago and the things I remember about him are his funny stories and jokes. He wasn't as old as your father, but he saw a lot in his life. God bless you and your family. Rest in peace Mr. Hartman.
Dang you, Steve Hartman. I tear up frequently during your stories, but the story about your dad really opened the floodgates. Sometimes a good cry is just what you need. God bless.
So sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences.
Gosh I miss my parents. 😢💔
May Mr George Rest In Peace
This randomly popped up in my feed. It is a great story of your dad and I am sorry for your loss. But in many ways, it is the great story of my dad and countless others who watched this. Thanks for sharing.
I know how he feels I've been there myself I lost my parents too
And I miss them every day
Ohh I just started to watch a few video of you n your dad than this video pops up. Life is so short..thank you for being such a loving Son to your Dad. Rest in Love Dad❤️
You touched my heart with this story and honestly, all your stories do. I can completely relate to being a “orphan”. There is no greater love than a parents love. You had a great Dad, I can tell by the man you are. God bless you, love your segments.
oh steve :( so sorry for you. we, your fans, love you. you're not alone.
What a cool man your dad was Steve. He must be so proud of you and the great job you do. Late but keep resting well Sir. Love from Ireland. 🙏🍀
