That is correct; the initial search did not pull up his record for some reason. He was, indeed, a citizen of Nova Roma. May the gods reward him for his wonderful works and keep his family and friends well!

Salvete. I am a new citizen of Nova Roma. When I saw this story, I asked on one of Nova Roma’s public mailing lists whether or not Sgt. Ford was a citizen of Nova Roma. I was informed that he was not. Hopefully, the question itself will prompt a discussion concerning what we can do for those citizens of Nova Roma when they pass on. In any case, my condolences to Sgt. Ford’s family and friends.(Nothing in this comment should be understood to be an official position of Nova Roma. It is my personal opinion only.)
