May you rest in peace Ed. Prayers to your loving family and friends. You were a Jasper at Manhattan but you were a RAVEN first at St. Raymond High School for Boys. I had the privilege of knowing you for many years and formerly Alumni Director on your planning of your twenty fifth anniversary, with other events. As a Raven we remember forever the words instilled in us : "St. John Baptist de Lasalle, pray for us, Live Jesus in our Hearts, forever. I know that St. John Baptist de Lasalle will watch over you and Jesus will welcome you.
Bob Heckmann, formerly of St. Raymond High School for Boys and now retired.

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.

How we will miss our "brother," cousin and friend. All the fun we had at the family Thanksgivings, Christmases, and beach. You were always so generous, witty and wise about all the important things in life. We'll be working on a special "hotline" to Heaven so we can continue the conversations of the "Coynesie Club." You'll forever be in our hearts and prayers, dear Edward.

Love,
Marianne
