MIss ya my dear friend, I called you " wine drop " affectionately . you were a catalyst at the A/C Club. Had many great times when you were bar chairman. and the varieties of wine, and wine tastings you established. Can never forget the bar party you hosted, with Arlene Mc Donald going around with a cowboy holster with booze in both holsters, and shaking their heads after they did a shot of booze...it was hilarious...I was in tears. Rest in peace my dear friend...save me a seat at the bar in Heaven....luv ya...Bob Howard.

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.
Janet's was a life well-lived. The world is a better place because of her.

I send sincere condolences to the Gallichio and Jacobsen families for the loss of such a dynamic and impressive woman: Janet didn't hesitate to give her opinion but she never forced her views on others and always listened with compassion and understanding. And she had a wonderful sense of humor! Everyone who knew Janet will miss her. Jessica
