Zig Ziglar died today, wednesday 28th at age 86, the motivational

He would
go on to rub elbows with U.S. presidents and former British Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher, according to the Associated Press.
Ziglar's personal assistant told the Associated Press
that Ziglar was suffering from pneumonia when he passed away at a hospital in
the Dallas suburb of Plano.
He was a devouted Christian, who credited his faith and
his red-headed wife, Jean, with much of his success. The couple had celebrated
their 66th "honeymoon" on Monday.
May his soul rest in perfect peace!
