The Manhattan College alumni community shares your grief, and is now praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni Office has been informed. As well as the Jasper Jottings 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.

My entire family is sorry of the passing of your Dad. I know he was well loved by his entire family. Years ago, I remember when he would return from a trip and everyone would run and greet him. He would go to his "easy chair" and I would see his little girls, and sometimes Pints, perched on his lap watching TV.
Our thoughts are with you,

John, Debi and Family,
Jim and I were saddened to learn of your Dad's death. Jim has many fond memories of him throughout your childhood days.
Our last memory of him was the night you had a get-together with a few old high school friends at your new house in Dunlap. We had a lot of laughs that night with your Mom and Dad. We know he will be missed by all. He was a wonderful man.
Our deepest sympathy to your Mom and the rest of the family.
If there is anything we can do in the coming days, please call us.
In Sympathy and Friendship,
Sincerely
Jim and Margie Jumer
