Anyone hear this? I would guess it would be all over the media right now but no word anywhere.

TripletDaddy · 01-28-2008, 02:05 AM

Confirmed. passed away tonight at 7PM. Sad.

On KSL right now. He lived a good, long life and is back with his wife. President Monson will do well.

I will truly miss him. If we are allowed to have favorites. I always thought President McKay would always be mine. However, President Hinckley was just so great.

Sad news indeed.

He will be missed.

He will be missed, and long and fondly remembered.

He had a way of making you think that knew him and that he cared about you. In other words, his warmth made the church a smaller place.

However, a new era is at hand now, and Br. Hinckley has entered his new work.

What will the Monson era bring I wonder.

Very sad. I actually got choked up when I told my wife. He was an amazing man.

My sentiments are the same as everyone else's.

It is a sad day for the Church he left behind, but it is a very happy reunion for he and his wife, as well as his predecessors both in the church and in his family.

It is truly the end of an era.
