Looking through my Haunted Mansion Tombstone pictures, I realized that I was almost out of new-to-you pics (I obviously missed a few!), but then noticed that I hadn't shown one of the most important tombstones!
Requiescat
Francis Xavier
No Time Off for Good Behavior
RIP
Apparently Requiscat in pace - Latin version of RIP
Francis Xavier Atencio - "X" Atencio - Disney Legend - he not only did animation for classics such as Fantasia, but he also wrote the music for Yo-Ho - for the Pirates of the Caribbean and the Grim Grinning Ghosts for the Haunted Mansion. X worked for the Disney Company for 47 years, retiring in 1984.
