I was saddened to hear from his passing ... and I am grateful, that we do have technology to hear him still.

I wondered about the expression 'poor swine' - never heard that before.

That Expression sounds like a german Idiom literally translated:

armes Schwein -

The Expression is that the pig will be pork soon...
