He credited everything to his \u2018cowboy\u2019 upbringing. But that didn\u2019t always wash with the men and women he served alongside of, or spoke to through his many talks. He was one-of-a-kind, hell-bent-for-leather Gospel-preaching, Savior-loving General Authority. He never minced words and usually found the humorous side of things\u2013\u2013 and spoke the truth, always \u2013\u2013 which most often got him into a lot of hot water. But then we love him. Not only because he could say things in ways that we wish we could, sometimes, but because he was always honest. You knew where you stood.
