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