agree  Noni Gilbert Riley: Yes, that fits it in, since deceased is not a preceding adjective). Translated this thus last week. Wonder if we cd also use "the late" in this context?

  -> Gracias, Noni.
agree  Joseph Tein: You're right about "son to"! I had never seen this before, but there are hundreds of thousands of examples in google :)

  -> "son to" is perfectly valid and correct and commonly used in obituaries, social announcements (births, marriages) and legal documents.// Thank you kindly. Es muy noble de su parte.
