Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
I had the great opportunity to study Greek with Fr. Gignac for three when I was an undergraduate at Fordham. I learned so much from him and I am forever indebted to him of r what he taught me. May he rest in peace.
