[47of74]

Just learned about this a short while ago

The Rev. Georg Ratzinger, a Roman Catholic priest and celebrated choirmaster who was the older brother of Benedict XVI, the pope emeritus, died on Wednesday in Regensburg, Germany, where he had lived for most of his life. He was 96.

His death was confirmed by the diocese in Regensburg. Father Ratzinger had been suffering from a serious illness, which the diocese did not identify. Benedict traveled from the Vatican to see his brother in Germany last month.

Never easy when siblings depart, especially when it's last one after the parents and the other siblings.  (As I can attest when my maternal grandma's sister passed and grandma was the last one left).  So in this case I will say RIP Fr. Ratzinger.
