"Fare well and good bye", or else "Hallo and goodbye" , the word "ave" being used as a greeting at coming and going originally, then "ave" became greeting at meeting someone, while "vale" (keep well, be healthy) was used at parting.
I put "farewell and good bye" first, because it was the formal "last salute" for the deceased.

The Romans used ave and avete by themselves for saying hello or goodbye. Later ave was a morning greeting, and vale was used when leaving someone in the evening,. In classical Latin, ave atque vale came to be a formulaic farewell to the dead,
