He was a star for me, especially when I first came to the Lord as a teenager! Now I'm also nearly 60 yrs married to my love! All what he is experiencing I may soon experience & what a comfort he is comforted with! "Shirly has just moved to her heavenly home!" What a future!!
Sympathies to all of Shirley Boone's loved ones. I've been a fan of Pat ever since I saw "April Love" with my Mom at the theater. He never disappointed me concerning his Christian standards in every aspect of his life. All Mother's could allow their children to hear his music, attend his shows, & watch his movies, resting assured he is an honorable role model. Gods blessings. 💕
Pat Boone made a lasting impression. In 1968-1969 I was stationed in Tokyo (USAF), and I attended a little church just off the Air Base. One of the officers found out Pat Boone and his family were in Tokyo for something. Here is a very famous singer and actor with all his family. They are meeting contractual obligations and trying to have a family vacation. It was Sunday night in an incredibly large city. They got separated, but Pat and two daughters made it to the little church. He made such an effort (during the era of the Vietnam War) just to encourage everyone. Other than his dedication to just encouraging the people of God, Pat got nothing out of the effort; his wife and he were separated in a big city in a country they may not have visited before. I know that he also served on an important board at Pepperdine University for decades. I would see him from a distance (because I vowed never to impose on someone like him), at a Pepperdine event, a place where I would spend 30 of my 35 years of college teaching. I have great respect for Pat Boone and his whole family. Perhaps I will meet them in the Heavenly realm. :)
Wow...I've always loved Pat Boone. This was a great interview. 65 years of marriage. What a blessing that must have been. May the Lord fill his heart with love and peace. You can hear the love for his wife as he speaks. God bless you sir. All the best.
I’m so sorry for your loss Mr. Boone. I grew up with your music. My grandmother adored you. How I wish I would have met a man like you to spend my life with! God bless!
I grew up listening to Pat Boone. What a great voice and inspiration to me and thousands of others. His life and testimony are part of our American history! Of course his wife and family are part of that testimony as well. Hope to see you in Heaven someday. Thank you Pat!
Oh hogwash. Why on Earth did she pop out 4 offspring in 4 yr.s. ? Some bible thumper B.S. like Catholics? Ruined the romance and her body probably. Did nOt make 4 a good relat. Was a awful start.
@@newtoublue1451 I pray you become educated in the Bible. If you just get to know Jesus, you're view of Christianity will change. You just trash talked a magnificent Christian couple. Aren't you curious if God is real, if Jesus was born as recorded in the Bible. He's the only God who suffered tremendously and was crucified, rising from the dead on the 3rd day! Aren't you worth the time to give this serious thought . Also Jesus is the only God who rose from the dead and fulfilled all but 1 prophesy, not time for that one yet. The odds are seriously astronomical! He is part of the Trinity, Father, Son and the Holy Spirit! The only true God! Do this for yourself, get a Bible and slowly and prayerfully read John in the New Testament. Ask the Holy Spirit for understanding. Doing this with your heart, discover God and what He's done for humanity, develop a relationship w Jesus. For yourself I pray you do this. I speak from my heart!
Mr. Boone, I am sorry to hear about the (temporary) loss of your wife. Thank you for all of your songs throughout your years that you've given us. And also to you and your wife for the contributions you both have made over the decades.
Hello my super fan, i appreciate your kind words of condolences and your continued love and support, i would love to have a conversation, kindly drop a cellphone number i can text you on, Thanks!
Thank you! I really needed to hear this. My dad is on hospice, 94 years old. He and my mother have been married for 73 years. This reminded me that physical death truly is just a change of address for a Believer. This was very comforting to me. Thank you!
Kim Brady ...Blessings to you as your family journeys through this time..I’m a 74 yo nurse and can appreciate what is happening for you...took care of mom for 11yrs and dad for 6.....when we have our faith we see how the wonderful Good Shepherd is there leading us through the valleys....may the Holy Spirit bring comfort and peace to all of you.....thanks for sharing..🙏🙏🙏🙏💝💝💝💝✝️✝️✝️✝️
Nobody like,Pat Boone! He talked the talk and,walked,the walk! Wholesome, clean-cut and an excellent role model for all! Opposite of today's decadent singers! Yes, the Boones will be together again! ❤
@@su-rv2uq Yup. A whole other side to this "clean and wholesome Christian" family. Not too many people know about it though. Personally I don't want to get into that with anyone here; let it lie.
Pentecostal Believer S-R know one is perfect we as humans try to walk the walk we all fall point is we pick ourselves up hopefully learn from are mistake and try to go on serving God.
Praise God, for the Boone’s example and witness for Jesus Christ in this world! A pillar for Him and the strength of their life and marriage. The Lord isn’t finished with you yet Mr. Boone!!! Nice interveiw Pat, lots of things I learned about their work for God!!! Blessings

Dear Sweet Pat, my husband and I grew up listening to your songs and watching your movies. We married when I was only 18 and he was 20. We had almost 54 years together before he died on August 9th of this past year. He was the love of my life, just as your Shirley was to you. We will see them both again some day, but the waiting is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. God Bless you for your courage in telling your story so soon after losing Shirley. I'll be praying for you and your daughters. Diane in North Carolina
@@alelaeduplasey9468 I know what you mean about it being hard to be alone. I feel the same way. Jimmie was the love of my live too and I miss him so much it literally hurts, not just emotionally. I don't expect either you or I will ever finish grieving. I pray every day that God will give me the strength to endure just that day. If I look too far ahead, I fall into despair. I am so very sorry that you suffer.
@@osakarose5612 Yes, it does feel like a kick in the stomach. I suppose there are those people who don't feel the same way as we do, but for sure I can relate to the physical as well as emotional pain we go through. I'm so very sorry that it still hurts so bad. I expect if I live nine more years, it will be the same for me. Jimmie was my soulmate too. Hardly ever saw one of us without the other. I long for Heaven.
My parents were married 62 years. My Dad held on until 2:30 am on May 29th 2016 their anniversary. They loved each other and my Mom went to see Jesus and reunite with my Dad in 2017. I take comfort in knowing I will see them in Heaven one day♥️🙏♥️🙏
All the best doing things God's way..... he's going to make all of us cry. I had no idea how awesome this couple was. Certainly for such a time as just before now.
I can't imagine the '50s without Pat Boone. He was a giant. I graduated from HS in 1960 and was there to see it all. It was Pat and Elvis throughout No one else came close. Pat Boone's uncompromising lifestyle was an inspiration to all of us who knew the Lord. Thank you Pat and Shirley.
I was pat’s limousine driver in Jacksonville, fl I the 1970’s. He stayed at the hotel I was also working on the front desk. I can say he was the most perfect person I have ever met. I had him for two days in the front seat and I really enjoyed him. He was on a concert here. Beautiful person. He’s just like you know him in the movies and on stage. I have a large picture of us in my bed room at the air port. We are close to the same age. And he was a Gentleman. I would love to see him again. Thank you Pat.
Lost my husband of 40 years a day before Pat Boones wife. Grief is heart breaking, even if you know the Lord. I cannot cry anymore, just bubble wrapped in sadness.
M Bicks, I lost my husband of 45 years six years and one month ago today. “It was the parting of the ways leading Home.” This song was so special to me at that time. “Oh Love that will not let me go” by the A Capella Gaither Band.
M Ricks, I'm so very sorry to hear that your husband has died. I lost my husband of nearly 54 years on August 9 - will be six months ago on Saturday. Yes, the grief is heart breaking and the sadness overwhelms me much of the time. I truly do understand your bubble wrap of sadness. I will pray for you. We know that one day we will see our husbands again, but the waiting is absolutely the hardest thing to do, isn't it? Love from Diane in North Carolina
SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSES, EVERYONE. MY MOTHER DIED ONE YEAR AGO FRIDAY FEB 8 IN REJECTION OF OUR JEWISH MESSIAH. MY FATHER WAS SO DEVASTATED AFTER 60 YEARS OF MARRIAGE. MY MOTHER HAD 33 YEARS TO STUDY AND RESEARCH FOR HERSELF WHETHER OR NOT JESUS IS THE JEWISH MESSIAH. SHE NEVER CARED TO READ THE BIBLE AT ALL. NOW SHE'S IN HELL! DAD 'S DAYS ARE NUMBERED AND HE TOO HAS NO INTEREST IN READING EVEN THE JEWISH OLD TESTAMENT I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THEY JUST ARE NOT CHOSEN OF GOD TO BE SAVED. ISAIAH TALKS ABOUT JEWS WHO ARE IGNORANT HAVE HARDENED HEARTS AND ARE NOT PART OF THE CHOSEN REMNANT. [ I JUST WANT AT LEAST ONE PARENT WITH ME IN GODS KINGDOM. ALL MY RELATIVES WHO DIED ARE ALL IN HELL NEVER BOTHERING TO DO THE STUDYING OR RESEARCH ABOUT WHO JESUS WAS AND IS.
What a beautiful love story, putting God first is the most important thing in a marriage... You were a true gentleman when you two were dating, and a real man throughout your lives together. Men of this day and age could learn a lot from you. God bless you, I pray for his peace, comfort and joy for you. ❤🙏🕊
Hi Pat, I warmed to your interview, saw it on Valentines Day, Well done 65 yrs, we only got 54 and it's never enough, Seven years on, still cuts like a knife my Friend. Shirley and proverbs 31 me too, whenever I read it I see Joyces face within the text, Thank You Jesus, Thank You Shirley and Pat Boone Used to sing your song to Her when we were courting, badly, but She loved it, Love letters in the sand, re-release it maybe? LOVE LETTERS IN THE SKY, To Shirley from You, and to My Angel from I. . xx
What a beautiful life Pat & Shirley had together, with the Lord at the helm of their marriage. May God comfort Pat and his family & give them peace. What a wonderful testimony of Gods love
Hello my super fan, i appreciate your kind words of condolences and your continued love and support, i would love to have a conversation, kindly drop a cellphone number i can text you on!
Grief comes in waves. I’ve found that when you have grief continuously, you have lots of regret. If you’ve done everything you knew to do for the loved one you’ve lost you don’t have as much grief. I lost my brother suddenly when he was 25. I learned that lesson then. When he stepped on to a plane to return to his home in Texas, we never dreamed that would be it. I would advise anyone to not leave things unsaid. Undone.

Hi Pat Boone you are a wonderful person wonderful husband a great example of how men should be to their families. A awesome man of God and a very good singer wasn't that long ago I was watching you and your wife on the Jim Bakker Show you guys so perfect together. I could see the love you have for each other and respect and I can see why you love her so much . I didn't know you're married so long wow 65 years is that a record it might be. Stay strong Pat I know it's very difficult to have her go before you, I pray for you and your whole family. Cherish the moments that you had with her knowing that you'll see her again remembering no it's not the end it's the beginning♡ God bless you Pat

Whoa! I truly had no idea what wonderful accomplishments Shirley had been involved in. Great testimonials to what can be done when two people submit their hearts to God and each other. Beautiful!

I say a prayer for you and Shirley, and I'm sure to soon be there with her in a better place. Thank you, Pat, for all the good you provided for us on earth, with your religious songs and their meanings.
Thank you Mr. Boone. You have been an inspiration to millions, and a true success in so many things in life. I've been married 47 years, and can't imagine losing such a big part of my life. Much thanks for your testimony, and God bless.
PAT BOONE IS A LEGEND IN POP MUSIC IN THE 50'S AND AS AN ACTOR IN SEVERAL CHRISTIAN MOVIES. HE IS BEFORE MY TIME AND I AM GRATEFUL HE IS STILL WITH US. IN HIS EARLY TO MID 80'S

We need testimonies that reveal the life-changing power of an infilling of the Holy Spirit. I really wanted to hear more about the effects of such power and love in the lives of Pat and Shirley Boone. It's what we all desperately need.
You should look up some of their past interviews, most people are very pleasantly surprised. Pat was always a very good public speaker, always a good personal perspective, open, too.

Mr. Pat Boone, we will all be reunited with our loved one’s in Heaven...I think VERY shortly. And, thank you Mr. Pat Boone, for all you’ve done and continue to do in proclaiming Our Lord, Yeshua Ha’Mashiach.. .that is Jesus The Christ.
Just ran into this video - Have always respected this man and he reminded me why!!! Pat certainly reflected the image of God respecting his wife and honoring God!! Love this and the hope he has in our Jesus!! Thank u Lord for this expression of love on earth personified in this couple!! Praise God for the Boones!! See you later Shirley.
God bless you Pat. I was 10 when your first record hit the air waves and loved you ever since. I remember when you and Shirley married, it was beautiful to hear your life story with her and our Creator and Savior. I still have many of your 45's, lost a few to my own children. lol They enjoyed your music also. I know Shirley is waiting for you, she has your home ready that our Messiah went to prepare and one day I will be able to meet you and Shirley in our new Heavenly bodies. Glory, Glory what a blessing that will be. I pray God keeps you in good health and your children are close by with your wonderful grandchildren, as mine are. Until then we will continue in the comfort of our visitation with the Holy Spirit. God bless you and yours.
Alan Coates. UK I hope all of your beliefs are realised Pat. You're a good man with a kind and honest heart. May God Bless you and continue to inspire you as you go forward with your celebrations of Shirley's life....
So sorry to hear of his loss. In addition to his great music, my husband will always be grateful to Pat for making the white buck shoe a timeless american classic
You are a fine man and a great actor I didnt know your wife but she is in gods arms until you meet again you will hold her in your arms again!! So sorry for you loss!!!
Ok why did he cheat on her until he was old? Do you admire that too? So he was home with all those kids while he was a celebrity and had all those flings. Not that he admitted to it until he was beyond playboy age. Hypocrite.

I am from Chattanooga Tn. I remember Pat Boone use to come to the Childrens Home on Bonny Oaks drive quite often to visit with the Children there. What an amazing person He and his wife are. So sorry for the loss of his beautiful wife Shirley. RIP God Bless You Pat Boone
This was so touching and inspirational. Hope precious it is to dwell with God's children. My name is Shirley and my husband's name is Pat. We took a lot of teasing for that. I always said we could not have had better examples. My husband went home 5 years ago. Seems like yesterday, still such a precious part if my life. When my husband went home I remember falling on my knees at his bedside with the tears rolling down. All of a sudden it was as if someone lift placed theirs beneath by elbows and lift me up from my knees. This over whelming peace over flowed me and has not left me. This is what I pray for you and your family. I could not have made it without that peace that God gave me. Praise His Holy Name.
My heart goes out to you! I a'm 67 and grew up with your singing.! After 25 yrs. of marriage my husband passed away when I was 44 yrs. old. I have dreams and my husband is always on my mind! God bless you and your daughters!
....Hymn extract.....There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come , No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye; All is peace for evermore on that happy golden shore, What a day, glorious day that will be! What a day that will be when my Saviour I shall see! And I look upon His face, the One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand, and leads me through the promised land . What a day, glorious day that will be. There'll be no sorrows there, no more burdens to bear, No more sickness, no more pain, no more parting over there; And forever I will be with the One who died for me, What a day, glorious day that will be!............Jim Hill....20th cent.

Such a beautiful love story. God bless you Pat. You have been an inspiration to me. I ran out and bought your records as soon as they came out. They were records my whole family loved.

I lost my husband and I didn’t feel I could mourn because I was so concerned about my children. I didn’t want to make it harder for them. It’s hard on everyone!!!! You just have to know Jesus is taking care of everyone.

It is so hard to be parted especially when you have spent your whole life with your sweetheart. My parents were married the day after they graduated from high school. It literally almost killed my father to lose her. His grief was palpable. I hope Mr. Boone has come to a place where he can stand knowing full well "That this World is not my Home", as the old hymn says and he certainly will see her again in the City Foursquare. I attended the congregation where Nick led singing. He sounds a lot like Pat. They had the difficulties all marriages go through...but they hung in there and righted their ship.
I remember meeting Shirley. She was such a gracious lady. I had hurt my hand and she knew I was a pianist. She mothered me, gave me suggestions...just sweet. Praying for you, Pat. You will be with her soon! We all will!
Being born in 1950, I grew up with the Boone family. Grandma had several of his Worship albums, which were often playing on Sunday mornings while she prepared to go to Church.

Praying for peace and comfort to the Boone family. What a good Christian example of what marriage is, in the eyes of God and to all believers. Shirley was an amazing lady with a heart for Jesus and a heart for the least of these.

Cant remember the song but I played it over and over until I learned how to whistle with Mr Boone. Always admired him and loved his talent and happy attitude. Guess shirley was greatly responsible for that. May she rest in peace.
I don’t think Pat would ever see my comment,but I got saved at a David Wilkerson teen challenge ralley in Anaheim,ca. It was 1969. (I was in 8th grade) He (Pat) and Debbie and Cherry all sang that night. I seriously walked forward not really understanding the gravity of what was happening. In the coming weeks I felt Jesus in a most profound way in a humble small home. I have had a few bumps in my road of life but always know Jesus IS the way the truth and the life. Thank you Pat. And I am sorry for your loss 🙏🏻❤️
I loved pat Boone since I was 14 I am now 75 used to get by the door to here top twenty every week to here pat sing April love God bless you and your family pat for all your lovely work
Around 1957-1959, Pat Boone walked right into me at a Western Mass fair-he had just left a local TV station booth-I was so surprised I could not say a word to him-and yes, he had his white bucks on! We loved his songs back then-bought all his records-still play him today. A good and decent man
Pat Boone was my favorite singer in my teens and I still love to hear his songs today! He and Shirley have been role models for youth and adults for many decades
My thoughts and prayers for this wonderful man and his family. They have always been the epitome of talent and grace, and a lasting example of what America once represented.
What a wonderful testimony of God’s faithfulness! I remember when you visited Syracuse, NY in the 1950’s and attended a little church in the adjoining small community of Nedrow, NY where I lived when you visited Syracuse. I went to a store in Syracuse in got your autograph. Thank you for being a faithful husband, father and entertainer.
May God continue to bless Mr. Boone. May He heal his broken heart with all the lovely memories they shared. I was just a little girl when I first heard him sing. What a wonderful voice. I liked everything he sang, my favorite was his "Love Letters in the Sand." I was also a little Elvis fan too. I loved music. But there was something about Pat Boone's voice. Not like Elvis, and yes they were both very popular, I remember that. There was something wholesome about him. It came across in his music. I hope he knows this. Thank you, Mr. Boone for all the wonderful memories of hearing you sing while I was growing up. Thank you.

I met Shirley Boone the day she was on TBN . We met at the Circle Restaurant in Portsmouth Va. she was with 2 people from Dallas the show. I was so excited to meet her and blessed.
💥💫🌹How wonderful to be a Believer and the glorious prospect of meeting your loved one again in glory. 💜❤👌. Claude and I have completed 50 years on 24th October this year and it has been so good to be true.🌻🌿🌼. God has given us 3 loving Sons, Neville, Savio and Franz and we are so happy with His gifts. 👍👍👍
God bless us all. I remember my Mother and me seeing Shirley & Debbie Boone at a Milwaukee Jesus rally. She Debbie Boone sang you light up my life @ the rally.. Thank you for bringing back this memory! I was the guy way up in the balcony at a old getting run down theater in Milwaukee who raised my hand for prayer when Pat Boone prayed. Jesus is Lord !

Love you Pat and Shirly !!! Always loved your soothing smooth voice as a kid. You are part of my past. And the good memories of it April Love and more. I heard the religious one in the car it was Awesome !!!! You have a nurturing voice thank God. I became a believer in 1973. At nine o'clock at night on Sunday evening at a Pentecostal church. I am sorry for your loss Pat, I pray God's comfort on you. Shirly was so energetic, what a woman, I love your daughter too Debbie. Thank God you both got the baptism of the Holy Spirit!
@James Henderson and more than likely repented b4 God & his wife, & received forgiveness from both and been Cleansed of his sin, washed, white as snow from the Inside out, then the Lord would have thrown it into the Lake of forgetfulness, never to be remembered again, like it never happened, Praise God, no condemnation in Christ Jesus, Amen!
Pat is truly a role model. I've been married to my Shirley for 56 yrs, and know we don't have a lot of time left together here, but one of us will be moving soon, and I selfishly hope it is me, God has blessed me more than most can imagine, and I thank Pat for his words of wisdom, May his Shirley be at peace knowing she will be with Pat soon also. Jesus is real folks, He really does love us.
Back in the 70s my brother & sister & I fought over your family record , we all wanted it to be our own. We listened to it over & over. I enjoyed seeing you acting /singing in God's Not Dead 2. My husband & I facilitate a Griefshare group and most have had a spouse leave this earth. I am so proud of you & Shirley!
GBY PAT BOONE 65 YRS THATS WONDERFUL BEING MARRIED TO THE SAME WOMAN THAT LONG SHIRLEY IS WAITING ONE DAY YOU 2 WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN PRAISE GOD IN THAT BEAUTIFUL MANSION IN THE SKY
I will never forget being on TV with Pat when I was 14 yrs. We became friends and he has always been a great person as he is such a fine Christian. I know what he has gone through as my husband died in an accident and it was hard. I pray for him that he will remain strong for his family and live a good long life liked his parents did. I knew the Holy Spirit since age 3 yrs, but did not get filled with speaking tongues like Pat until I found out about it and wanted it for myself. Sadly I did not see him at Pat Roberetson's 70's birthday party in D.C. as Pat's Mom went to be with the Lord that very day, but I met his dear friend, Gavin McCloud ( Capt. Stubin on LOVE BOAT). GOD bless PAT for a long life and hope he finally moves to Florida where he was born.
