Ray joined the Manhattan Prep group when they got to Manhattan College. He fit in like a glove and was a treasured member of the science guys. Great lunch meetings and hard studying brought us together wit so many great memories. Vivat Jesu.

Knew Ray well at Manhattan. he was part of that table just to the left of the door walking into the cafeteria. I certainly learned more there from Ray and the other guys than I probably did in the school. We went a long way in solving the world's problems. He was a good guy to know and though our paths have not crossed again in the past 40 years, he will remain a fond memory for me. God Bless you all at this time. Keep comfort in the fact that the older I get, the more I truly believe that we will all meet again to pick up where we left off.

The Manhattan College alumni community shares the grief, and is now
praying for our fellow alumni and the family at this time. The Alumni
Ofce 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.
