To Noreen and Family,

My time in the P.A. was made rich by Dick's guidance. He was a giant and a strong leader for many of us in the Construction Division. We will all miss him at the annual PA golf outing.

God bless you,

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.
