He will certainly be missed. I met with him on a number of occasions and heard him speak numerous times, and always found him to be compassionate, wise, and eloquent. His books have touched many over the years. In the seventies, it seemed that every college-age Christian I knew had a copy of one of the Singer books under his arm, along with his Bible.
