It is always sad to receive notification of the death of a Manhattan College Alumnus.
It comes even closer to home when you realize that the deceased is of the same age as you are. We may have walked the campus of Manhattan College at the same time. I pray for the soul of Philip M.. Runge. May he rest in peace.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the 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.
