Mark and I send our condolences to the entire Maexner family. What a lucky man he was to have such a wonderful family surrounding him and making him proud for so many years. He will be missed and remembered by many. I'll always remember the way he'd give his three kisses and a hug, I was lucky enough to get one of those once. May he rest in peace.
With love, Mark and Laura(Ney)Kretzinger

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 man's death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
