a great man has passed this past sunday. many of you not of my faith probably dont know what i am talking about but President Gordon B. Hinckley, the great prophet died on Sunday, January 27, 2008.
he died in his apartment in downtown salt lake city at 7:00 pm, members of his family were at his bedside. Gordon led the church for 12 years of great expansion.
"President Hinckley was known, even at the age of 97, as a tireless leader who always put in a full day at the office and traveled extensively around the world to mix with Church members, now numbering 13 million in 171 nations."
even though i only knew of the man for about 7 months i respected him greatly, he was a great man.
