He was such a wonderful man and reached so many people. He knew this world was not his home.

I think his son and grandson do great work. I also think Rick Warren is an amazing pastor

I didn't know he was still alive but have fond memories of being awoken to his voice playing on my Nana's Bakelite radio as she made breakfast.

I remember watching his televised sermons growing up. He had an amazing ability to reach people of all walks of life. RIP

Saw him when I was in high school. Johnny Cash was with him. So enjoyed hearing both of them. As a teen I didn’t listen to many preachers of any kind but he really struck a chord.

He will be greatly missed but the angels are rejoicing, the good and faithful servant is home.
