Wow! I didn't know. I am so sad. I loved him so. And Yes, that was one of my favorite talks. M
I didn't know either but I am glad that he will be reunited with his sweet wife. I will miss his beautiful talks and sweet spirit.
It was a great talk. Thank you!
A friend stopped by Sunday night to visit teach my sister. This was the talk she chose. It was full of good humor and showed his wonderful attitude in life.
How blessed we were to have had him so long. We will miss him and his awesome sweet spirit.
Thank You for sharing!

Yes, I am sad too. I used to work down the hall from him when I worked for the general authorities. He's a sweet man! That was one of my favorite talks too!
He was the apostle that shook Joshs hand at BYUI.. that made all the difference in the world during his wonder years!
I just read that talk this morning. I hadn't heard about his death. Thanks for posting about it.
So sad...but now he can be with his beloved wife. I love his sense of humor and his gentle kindness. He will be missed.
So glad he was here for us at conference time. That was one of the best talks and one that will be remembered and quoted often. Such a sweet man who will be missed by many.
I'm so sorry! :(
I'm always surprised when our church leaders pass away. I know that makes no sense, since they are generally elderly, but they just seem like our leaders forever (well, that is probably true on the other side of the veil).
God bless,

Stop by, if you have time, and read the Christmas story!
Crazy! ya I didn't know either, maybe I should get in touch more with the news. LOL BTW I just got on your blog (the first time in DAYS) and noticed we have the same background. Great minds think alike huh?
isn't it great that the last talk he gave this last conference was for many of us, our favorite!
I just ran across your blog, it is very uplifting. Totally following!
That was my favorite talk.
I try to remember that often when I am mumbling... "come what may and like it!"
I LOVED LOVED LOVED his "laughter" talk too...it was one of my favorites and I probably remind myself to "laugh" once a day thanks to him!
