I am sorry to hear about the passing of a great man. He was a true gentleman who will be missed. I'm glad that both he and my father worked at Shell Oil so we had a chance to know his family. Please know that Larry and his entire family are in the Francis Family's thoughts and prayers.

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.
