Well, I found out later on after he was absent from his post for a while, that he was fighting cancer and that was the cause of his condition and he tried to maintain his dignity as best he could. He didn't live much longer after his absence from work. I never forgot this, and even though I never once participated in the "jokes", I still felt guilty for a long time.
