To live so LONG and die at 97 is amazing, but to live as he vibrantly did at 97 - even more so. :) God Bless his family...

We will miss you, our beloved Prophet. We are grateful for your leadership over the last few decades. You are revered and loved by the Saints in Pennsylvania (where both Priesthoods were restored), and throughout the world. We mourn your loss but know that you are with your beloved Marjorie. We extend condolences to your family.
