Billy Graham traveled to Pittsburgh-area many times

Around the world, millions are mourning the loss of the Rev. Billy Graham, who died Wednesday at 99 years old.

Graham reached more than 200 million people through his appearances, many of which were in Pennsylvania.

"He had a way of being on fire. And his love for Jesus. That was evident in his preaching," said Bishop David Zubik.

Graham drew bus loads, if not stadiums full, of people wherever he went.

Preaching around the world and hosting his crusades, Graham is being remembered as instrumental in bringing the evangelical faith into a modern movement.

As Channel 11 learned, Graham had many connections to the Pittsburgh region and led revivals on three of his visits to the Steel City.

Funeral arrangements for Graham are still pending.

But his family says he will be buried next to his wife, Ruth Graham, in Charlotte.
