The Manhattan College and Prep alumni community shares the grief, and is now praying for our comrade and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings & Prep community that I personally can reach. We are all a little poorer now. "No man is an island, entire of itself ... any man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
