Harry and June were cherished friends of my late parents, Bill and Mary Ellen Wolff and I believe Bryan was my mother's only godson. I remember Harry and June fondly and sent my love to the family !

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.
