We will miss seeing and visiting with Bob at the Buford sports events. He was such a kind and pleasant man who meant so much to so many. Prayers are with Jean and the family. God bless

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.
