I know this is not really the place for this, but I have found out that a high school classmate and old poker buddy of mine was on the crew of the cargo ship El Faro, that sank during Hurricane Joaquin.

He joined the Merchant Marines right after high school, I have not seen him in many years but it is still a shock.

Rest in peace Roan Ronald Lightfoot.

Omar:

Sorry to hear about your friend. As a former sailor you should know that there is a worldwide kinship amongst those who sail the sea. Many times my thoughts have been of those I did not know who found themselves hurt or lost from ocean passage. I still get those feelings as did my father before me. It might have happened to me. I know men and women the world over share a similar feeling.

"Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!"

Excerpt from 'Eternal Father' also known as the Naval Hymn.

RIP El Faro crew.
