I was at a fireside about the Dead Sea Scrolls when a friend whispered to me that President Hinckley had passed away. I went to cnn.com on my phone but they didn't have anything about it. I checked wikipedia and it showed his life as June 23, 1910 – January 27, 2008, which confirmed it. I tried to get onto deseretnews.com and ksl.com, but they were slammed. I eventually was able to get a page to load enough to at least see the headline.
What a great man and great leader he was! I will miss his tireless efforts, his eternal optimism, and his jokes in the priesthood sessions of General Conference.
We will miss you President Hinckley, but your work lives on!
