It is always sad to be informed of the passing of a Manhattan College alumnus.
The sadness is increased when it is clear that he also attended Cardinal Hayes High School.
We walked the same halls of education, although at different times.
May Barrie Keohane Driscoll rest in peace.

Respectfully,

My deepest sympathy to our brother Barrie's family. We did not have much contact over the years, but renewed our acquaintance at the 50th several years ago

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.
