Jack Cafferty isn’t here today for the Cafferty File because of some tragic news.

His wife of 35 years, Carol, passed away unexpectedly this morning. Carol was everything to Jack. The dedication of his book reads, “for Carol, my wife, my life.”

Jack wrote about how she was the inspiration for him to get sober and straighten up his life: “In all the years that we’ve been married, she has always brought to the table her unshakable grounding in something a lot more real than being on television or being recognized in the corner drugstore. She has been my rock, having done a magnificent job of keeping me from getting full of helium and drifting off the surface of the earth… She was all the incentive I needed to make painful but transforming changes – to get sober and stop smoking. I knew that I’d lose her if I didn’t. She’s an amazing woman who simply wasn’t worth losing.”

One story Jack loves to tell is how he and Carol met – when he was a local news anchor in Kansas City. They started to meet regularly for a quick meal between his shows and became good friends. Whenever Jack had to leave, his exit line was “We’d better wrap this up. Got to get back to the station.” One night Carol finally asked, “What kind of a gas station do you work at? You’re always wearing a tie.”

Jack explained it was a television station. He loved the fact that she had no clue and couldn’t care less that he had been on air there every night for four years. He later described that as one of his life’s “twenty-four-carat moments” that made his heart soar. He said to himself then that he might marry her because “it can’t get any more honest and pure than that.”

Our deepest sympathies go out to Jack and to their two daughters, Leslie and Leigh. Our thoughts are also with Jack’s other two daughters, Julie and Jill, and his grandchildren.

Carol was an animal lover. If you’d like to make a donation in her memory, the family asks you give to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. You can contribute at aspca.org.

Now that you are up there in Command Central, can you see about getting your man a show?

One day at a time, of course.

A sad day….I hope you’re able to find peace and comfort soon after you’ve had time to morn.

Tina Steimle   September 5th, 2008 5:00 pm ET

Dear Jack,

Oh, how sorry I am for your terrible loss. In times like these words are insufficient, but may the wonderful memories of your great love bring you equally great comfort. I heard that the late Tim Russert once asked a friend who had just experienced a great loss, would you have rather had him for a short period of time, or not at all? The answer of course is always the same, when confronted with this painful choice. we would all rather have the people we love even for a short period of time because they transform our lives and bring us incredible happiness. They anchor us in the best way possible. But the pain when they leave us must be unbereable.

I knew Jack that you must’ve had someone strong and wonderful behind you because in the “Cafferty files,”you always act confident and secure in who you are without caring whether you score points with the “big shots” or not. That’s because you knew that you had the biggest shot possible at home. And she loved you.

God bless you, friend. I am sorry.
Tina Steimle

35 years is a long time to have a relationship, and I can only imagine the loss you must feel at this time. We are never prepared for these things in life no matter how strong we are , and I can only hope you the best during this time. Your TV family awaits your return. I’m real sorry for your loss.

Darnell in Atl,GA   September 5th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Mr. Cafferty, sorry to hear about the lost of your wife, whom you obviously loved, respected and admired. I hope that you can find solace in the fact that you have amassed over 35 years of memories that will last and carry you through the rest of your days.

Ann Smith   September 5th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Jack, I’m sorry to hear about your wife. My prayers and sympathy goes out to you and your family. I love your blog and try to get on as much as possible. But I was sorry to hear about your wife. She made you strong before so take what she gave you (which was love, understanding, and compation) keep this in your heart and she will also be there to recieve your love. You will overcome this too because she made you strong to withstand anything. You got to be strong for the children and I believe that you got what it takes to keep them in perfect peace.

Hazel, Toronto   September 5th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Jack, I feel like I know you and that we are friends (I guess in this day of the Internet, we are virtual friends). I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your dear Carol. Just when we were having so much fun with the Obama McCain thing, life throws you this curve ball.
Please accept my sincerest and heartfelt sympathy on your incredulous loss. I will ask God to keep you safe and hold your hands as walk alone during these very difficult times.

Rudi Wolber, FL   September 5th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

Heartfelt Condolences.

Jack, I just read on a blog that your beloved wife Carol untimely died a sudden death.
(Don’t know how to reach out to you other than to your blog from Germany, where I’m right now.)

I really know how you feel and suffer from this incredible loss because my (second) wife untimely and unexpectantly died all of a sudden on a Sunday afternoon in her office, just two years ago, having been a German Local National (Police Liaison Specialist) for the USArmy Military Police for more than 30 years of US Government Service. So I know what I’m talking about.

This is such a tremendous loss, turning everything upside down from one second to the next – and leaving Nothing as it used to be. Just horrible.

I must admit I’m not good at prayers. But my heart, from the very bottom of it, goes out to you.
I hope and dearly wish you’ll be strong enough to mentally and physically ’survive’ this tragedy – as I think (not yet being quite sure of a final result) I so far, somehow, managed to do.

Once again, my heart goes out to you.
And I wish you strength to overcome. Carol, your beloved late wife, would want it that way.

Embracing you in my thoughts.
Rudi from Florida
(A Permanent Resident in the US of German origin)

Mike   September 5th, 2008 5:01 pm ET

So sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure the love you have for her

Please know that “Jesus is giving her a hug”…that is what my daughter-in-law wanted when she left us…..My son remarked that she was touring heaven….I know that is probably what your wife is doing also.

You are in my thoughts.

Your book is on my “to read” list Jack; but I have been swamped, so I didn’t know the story of how you met your wife. That story sounds so YOU.

I know that you are devastated at this time. Hold on to your children and you all be strong together for one another and for her.

Deepest sympathies and much respect.

Ellen   September 5th, 2008 5:05 pm ET

Jack - I am so sorry to hear of your Carol’s sudden passing today. My thoughts and condolences to you and your family at this sad time. She must have been the one who made you into the lovable curmudgeon that you are. When I lost my 9 year old daughter in a car accident long, long ago, I found that in her passing, she had turned me into the compassionate teacher I had never been before that tragedy. I hope that you will find comfort from the many people who are thinking of you today.

I am a passionate Obama supporter. There have been so many times when you were our haven at CNN — the only voice of reason.

Know that so very many of us value you a great, great deal. Come back to us as soon as you are able! (besides, we badly need your wisdom re: Sarah Palin)!

Eb Edward   September 5th, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Jack and Family,

It is with such deep sorrow to express how I’ve been touched by the sudden passing of your dear wife. May the peace of God abide with you and the family and may His grace comfort you. You will find the strenght to continue to do the great job you’ve ably carried out at CNN. I’m glad that you have been blessed with such a loving wife and a pillar many a man would pray to have in a woman. I’ve been equally blessed by God to have a wife like yours for 30 years. She’s kind and loving. I must confess that I would not be much today if I had married another woman. She supports me more than I can ask for in time of plenty or drought.
You know Jack, when the demons in our world preside over the spoils of wars and greed, the mostly young people and many responsible adults who listen to your progressive statements would remember and learn that you’ve been touched by an angle in your life. You believe that America can be better. Much love to you from me and family.

Deborah Tomasello   September 5th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

I am disturbed about repeatedly hearing of McCain’s P.O.W. experience as though it somehow makes him more patriotic than Obama. Obama’s quiet service to the poor is no less heroic than McCain’s military service. It is, in fact, as much a sacrifice to give up a lucrative career to help the poor as it is to lie in a prison halfway around the world. I am not belittling McCain’s service, but I am tired of him and his machine belittling Obama’s. The thing with McCain’s torture experience is that it makes people emotional…flag-waving emotional. But all Americans should equally respect Obama’s decision to get down in the ditches to help people in a poor community…when there were no cameras around and no hopes of receiving a medal or “hero” title. Barak Obama’s service to his country is at least as patriotic as McCain’s.

Marjorie Wright   September 5th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

Luba Makowsky   September 5th, 2008 5:15 pm ET

I am from Toronto Canada and watch you every day. I just heard Wolf make the announcement of the passing of your wife Carol. I was already very sad today, as it is the anniversary of my best friend’s death and then to hear of your wife’s passing just broke my heart for you.

The only insight I can give you, even though it will not be understandable right now for you, but time is the only healer in the loss of the love of your life. When it first happens you cry every day every minute. This lasts for months, and your daily thoughts of the love one that is gone. But as months, years, go by the crying, the pain, the thoughts become easier to deal with. But you can never forget that love of your life. Just as I shed a tear for the loss of my love I shed a tear for the loss of your love.

Be strong Jack, find your strength within yourself, lean on your children and friends, and allow yourself to grieve.

My sympathies to you and your family and your wife’s family for the loss of your loved one. May she rest in peace and be in a better place than here.

Regards, Luba
