Deep sympathy to Mary and Family. Charlie was a great friend who loved bringing people together for a good party. He also had a tender heart when you needed a good friend. Thank you, Charlie. We were so blessed to share a beautiful friendship with Charlie and Mary for 40 years. Peace to you, dear Friend.

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.
