Not sure what to say?

I believe I met Joseph Wirthlin Jr. today at the Deseret Peak Temple open house. His son? Thank you for sharing your light today.

He was my beloved Great grandfather

I am very sorry for your loss, he was a great man, i learned so much from his talks. he was loved and will always be remembered.

What a wonderful man, a spiritual giant. Joseph B. Wirthlin and his family are very special to my family. His great-grandfather Leopold Wirthlin taught and baptized my paternal great-great grandparents in Switzerland in 1877. I have taken a special interest in all his addresses in conference and his publications. They are very special to me. My condolences to his family at this time.

Dear Becky and Brian and family of this giant of a man,

I loved to listen to him speak. As he spoke, I would wait for his wry little jokes that would pop out every so often. He never laughed at his own jokes, and seldom even cracked a smile when the joke escaped him.

Elder Wirthlin has been a great blessing in our lives. What a wonderful example to all. I was in the mission with Rebecca in Brazil and was so impressed by her and recognized that she came from a great family. She exemplified the teaching of a great father. May the family be blessed with the comforting arms of the Holy Spirit. My sympathies.

Elder Wirthlin's last talk at conference was so touching as he always was! What a spiritual giant ,and loving soul he has been to all of us. We send you our love and heartfelt sympathy. He is sorely missed. Bless your entire family ..He blessed ours!
