That he was 99 years old might not be a matter of contention, but what about the rest of what's being said?
.
When his death is mentioned on broadcast media, from what I've heard more than half the time they say, "He was America's pastor."

Pat Boone was a caller on a radio program this past Wednesday, with some memorable comments. I took notes:
.
"We have no question where he is, and there is no reason to be sad! Even those who did not believe the things Billy did, recognized him for the upright character he personified, with never a scandal, never a question against him for how he lived his life. We can know that the very second after he left his body like a crocus, that very instant he heard his welcome in heaven: Well done, good and faithful servant! I feel as if he is sitting right next to Jesus -- Who, we know, is sitting at the right hand of the Father."

It seems to me Pat Boone might be trying to get a leg up on the competition. What do you think?
