1. I always liked him... A really courageous guy and excellent journalist.

RIP, sir.

2. He'll be missed

He had a difficult childhood and was the son of James Dickey, yet went on to find his own voice and accomplish important work.

3. Damn shame. He was a fine journalist.

I hope he's reunited in a better place with his father James Dickey, author of the "Deliverance" novel and a slew of worthwhile poetry.

4. James was a poet laureate, I think

...hell of a legacy for Chris to follow.

Christopher an author, as well:

"His range as a writer and reporter was evident in the seven books he published. His first, “With the Contras: A Reporter in the Wilds of Nicaragua” in 1986, recalled his days covering conflict there. He wrote nonfiction books about foreigners in Arabia in 1990, counterintelligence efforts by the New York Police Department in 2009, an Englishman’s role in the Confederacy during the Civil War in 2015, and novels in 1997 and 2004."

5. An irreplaceable loss.

Mr. Dickey reported the truth — no matter who, what, where, when, why and how got ticked by it.
