Gordon B. Hinckley, b. 1910 d. 2008
I remember when I was a little girl and Spencer W. Kimball died. He had been prophet for my entire childhood, so his death was a little bewildering to 11 year old me. However, with inspiration and organization the church goes on.
I have that same sort of bewildered feeling today, though. President Hinckley was called to be prophet when I was a freshman in college. Essentially, this man has been the prophet for my entire "grown-up" life.
I miss him.

He felt like a grandfather figure to me, so encouraging and optimistic, such a perfect prophet for 9/11 and the aftermath.
