Me too. Of the last few conferences he's been my favorite speaker. He just seemed to have a sort of compassionate clarity, and personal reachability that I felt special affinity for... I will miss him and his insights greatly.
Interesting his last published message prior to his death in the Ensign is encouragement to the single members of the church...
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen! - Samuel Adams
