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 mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.

It was an extreme pleasure to have met Raymond who was my daughter in law's grand father. He was very good to and respected by my son and in turn his son Pierce. He got to meet Elvis my son's second son. I'm so grateful for his time with Matt who settled in America, leaving his own family in New Zealand. Having Raymond close meant a lot to Matt and I'll always be grateful for that. Go in peace to the arms of our father and back to your beloved. May up rest in peace. Anita
