The Rev. Rex Humbard, a
former itinerant preacher
whose televangelism ministry
once reached more parts of
the globe than any other
religious program, died
Friday a family spokeswoman
said. He was 88. Humbard
died of natural causes at a
South Florida hospital near
his Lantana home, family
spokeswoman Kathy Scott
said.
One of Humbard's admirers
was Elvis Presley, who often
sang gospel music himself.
Humbard spoke at his funeral
in 1977.
