MONTREAT, N.C. (AP) —  The Rev. Billy Graham’s son, the Rev. Franklin Graham, says his father would want to be remembered as a preacher.

Franklin Graham told NBC’s “Today Show” on Thursday that Graham’s children asked several years ago what he wanted on his tombstone and he replied “Preacher.”

The younger Graham said his father was the same at home as he was on television.

Franklin Graham said his father had been in fairly good health until his 95th birthday. After that, Franklin Graham said his father suffered health problems and was confined to his bed and a wheelchair at his western North Carolina mountain home in Montreat.

Franklin said his father could not hear or see very well but remained mentally alert.

Billy Graham’s funeral is set for March 2 in Charlotte.
