Eternal rest grant unto Sixto, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.

through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

    I have received this news with great sadness as well as with enormous gratitude. I have known Sixto for decades. I met him during the early years of ACHTUS, in the mid 1990s, when we both attended its initial meetings. I learned that we shared a similar educational background: we both attended the Colegio De La Salle in La Habana, Cuba, and we both did our doctoral studies at the University of Notre Dame. He was highly intelligent and learned—his knowledge of theological studies was superb, as was his knowledge of modern and ancient languages. He was also highly generous and kind—he stood ready to help and to converse at all times. He was highly cordial and funny as well—he had a wonderful sense of humor, deeply rooted in the Cuban tradition of el relajo. For this Lasallista, Domer, and colleague, I am deeply grateful. I shall miss his presence and his smile, and for this I am deeply sad.

    P.S. I should like to finish with the last strophe of the Himno De La Salle: “Adelante Lasallistas / el mañana nos espera / somos nueva primavera / somos nueva juventud." This we sang together in the central school yard for many years, and to it we have been faithful throughout and to the end—“Dios, la Patria, y el Hogar.”
