Billy Graham became the best known Evangelist of the late 1900's, and he had kids. Where are his family and what are they doing now?
Well first let's be clear: Billy Graham isn't deceased, he was born in 1918 and may turn 97 this November. His wife, Ruth, died in 2007 but not before having five children. Billy Graham lives in North Carolina and continues to suffer with the troubles of old age.
