I think it is a term of endearment to dead people.

PBUH is Peace Be Upon Him, right? Are you praying for him? Anyway, here is some information about Gordon Bitner Hinckley and some of his achievements.
Gordon Bitner Hinckley (born on June 23, 1910 in Salt Lake City, Utah to prominent Latter-day Saint writer and educator Bryant S. Hinckley and Ada Bitner) has been the 15th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since March 12, 1995. He is the oldest person to preside over the LDS Church in its history. As president of the LDS Church, he is considered by its members to be a prophet, seer, and revelator. His administration has been noted for the building of new temples and the creation of the Perpetual Education Fund.
Hinckley also serves as Chairman of the Church Board of Education and Board of Trustees that governs the Church Educational System.
Hinckley is known for his aggressive building of temples. Currently there are 124 operating temples, 9 under construction, and 4 announced (not yet under construction). Before he became president in 1995 there were 47 LDS temples. Over two-thirds of all LDS temples currently in operation were dedicated by Hinckley. Hinckley has also overseen other significant building projects, including the construction of the LDS Conference Center and extensive renovations of the Salt Lake Tabernacle.
On 23 June 2004 (Hinckley's 94th birthday), U.S. President George W. Bush awarded Hinckley the Presidential Medal of Freedom in a ceremony at the White House. The press release put forth by the White House stated:
"Gordon B. Hinckley [...] has inspired millions and has led efforts to improve humanitarian aid, disaster relief, and education funding across the globe."
Hinckley has received many educational honors, including the Distinguished Citizen Award from Southern Utah University, Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Utah, and honorary doctorates from Westminster College, Utah State University, University of Utah, Brigham Young University, and Southern Utah University. He has received the Silver Buffalo Award of the Boy Scouts of America, and has been honored by the National Conference for his contributions to tolerance and understanding in the world.
In June 2006, Hinckley traveled to Iowa City, Iowa to speak at a commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the start of the Mormon handcart companies. On 23 June 2006—his 96th birthday—Hinckley participated in a groundbreaking ceremony at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah for a new building that was to be named in his honor. The building was named the "Gordon B. Hinckley Alumni and Visitors Center" and was completed and dedicated on exactly one year later on Hinckley's 97th birthday.
On March 31, 2007, Hinckley rededicated the Salt Lake Tabernacle after extensive renovation.

PBUH is a term of endearment in death for the Islamic prophet Mohammed. As you may or may not know, President Hinckley is neither Muslim nor dead.
GBH will be best known for fighting the influences of today's society:
teachings of modesty in the 21st century, "The Family: A Proclamation to the World", and his lessons on being morally, physically, and spiritually clean.

Pres. Hinckley isn't dead yet, I don't think. Moslems say Peace be unto him about dead prophets and such.

He will be forgotten in the long run along with the entire Mormon church because it is a fairy tale...like most religions and the way they are taught.
I am not saying that there is not benefit to religion, but the division of the human race is primarily due to it and that far outweighs the benefit.
When religion grows up it might one day be worth embracing, until then it is a crutch and a weapon, depending on the fool involved.
Sorry....just my opinion.
God is much bigger than religion.
Think Love.
