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.

I extend my condolences to you. Frank was a longtime neighbor at 271 North Avenue, and we appreciated his wit and humor in many daily exchanges with the Clarks, including Walter Jr., Walter III and Madeleine, on the 4th floor. He was always helpful whenever we needed to seek outside counsel and was a true gentlemen. I will keep him in my prayers. Mary Clark
