I really liked him. He was a great man of God.
But read this great quote:
“Now, I know that someday I am going to come to what some people will say is the end of this life. They will probably put me in a box and roll me right down here in front of the church, and some people will gather around, and a few people will cry. But I have told them not to do that because I don’t want them to cry. I want them to begin the service with the Doxology and end with the Hallelujah chorus, because I am not going to be there, and I am not going to be dead. I will be more alive than I have ever been in my life, and I will be looking down upon you poor people who are still in the land of dying and have not yet joined me in the land of the living. And I will be alive forevermore, in greater health and vitality and joy than ever, ever, I or anyone has known before.”

That is a great quote. I'm sorry that he passed away, but it sounds like he deeply touched you and great many other people. He definitely would have a good answer, if that question that he heard on the radio that Sunday morning were asked of him.
And may I say that that picture of yours is absolutely ethereally stunning?

"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
He just seemed like a nice guy, and I enjoyed watching his show every so often. If I wasn't going to church for some reason, I could watch his church service. Anyway, I realize he's probably not that popular.
(And thank you. I found that picture last night and absolutely fell in love with it! You should see it full size.)

No Loss.....
I agree with him whole heartedly......
I told my wife to throw a party when (if) I die & preach the Gospel at my memorial service......
When I say 'no loss' I mean no loss for him. As the Apostle Paul said "To live is Christ, to die IS GAIN'
Yet, I pray for comfort for those who loved him......
"Anyway, I realize he's probably not that popular."
If so, he musta been doing something right for the Kingdom of God.......
'Great is your reward when men hate & revile you for my sake'
And yes, he was quite an Apologist for the bible & the Gospel.......
