He died on February 18, 1564 in Rome at the age of 88.

Memories linger in our hearts and mind Bittersweet memories of our first love When the world was young And so much better then. Memories of our youth as we remember the days we used to fish by the lake As fishes were jumping up, frolicking in the waters. Memories of rain drenched bodies as we shrieked and played along the driving rain. Memories of bygone years when joys were aplenty and sorrows were nowhere to be found.
Why is it so much wonderful when we think of the past? People were much warmer then and smiles were the greetings of everybody. Money was never scarce then and you can buy so many things with a little cash on hand. How wonderful were the melodies of yesteryears. They lulled us to sleep in peaceful slumber as we lived our lives as carefree as the birds in the skies. Ah memories, sweet memories of wonderful days gone by.
