Alice, upon Richard & Coleen's engagement, I sent you and Brad a thank you note for your wonderful Coleen. Our gratitude remains for giving us the daughter we never had. Richard has been blessed to be a part of your amazing family. Brad was a man of great character and integrity, not to mention humor, who was lucky enough to have you by his side as he traveled his journey. Your family is the greatest tribute to Brad's measure as a husband and father. He is worth every tear shed. "Well done good and faithful servant".

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.
