While I have always dreaded knowing that this day would someday come, I can always remember him as one of the most, if not the most influential man in my life.  I always chuckled thinking of him wearing a baseball cap with FOTAP on the brim.  But my favorite Graham saying was the day he said "If the Father had come instead of the Son, history would have been the same".  That really sums up his unique theological contribution to the world.  I will miss calling him, and talking to him, and asking for his advise.  But someday, will be most anxious to sit and listen to him once again
