Since you mention it…

 

[Subdeacon Joe]

Multās per gentēs et multa per aequora vectus

adveniō hās miserās, frāter, ad īnferiās,

ut tē postrēmō dōnārem mūnere mortis

et mūtam nēquīquam alloquerer cinerem

quandoquidem fortūna mihi tētē abstulit ipsum

heu miser indignē frāter adēmpte mihī

nunc tamen intereā haec, prīscō quae mōre parentum

trādita sunt tristī mūnere ad īnferiās,

accipe frāternō multum mānantia flētū.

Atque in perpetuum, frāter, avē atque valē.

We graduated from the same Jr high and high school, although I was 29 years behind.

[Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life]

I met him when I was working on the Apollo Program, a fine gentleman for sure. RIP Sir!
