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.

Marie and family, I am so sorry to read the news agency f Tony's passing. He was a unique man and boss! I learned so much from him and am grateful I had the opportunity to work with him at CIT in the late 70s. God Bless you all.
