Elder Wirthlin had gone to bed at his Salt Lake City home, and died peacefully at about 11:30 od causes incident to age. His oldest daughter, Jane Wirthlin Parker, was present. A member of the family had been staying and caring for Elder Wirthlin, whose wife, Elisa Young Rogers Wirthlin, died in 2006.
He had continued to work at his office right up until the Thanksgiving holiday.

Just got this from the LDS Newsroom. I am happy he is with his sweetie and expect to hear many great and special stories from his life in the weeks to follow.
