My sincere sorrow on the loss of a wonderful friend and colleague. It was with Vinny's kind guidance that I was able to fund graduate school,buy a new car and create savings. Even outside of the classroom, he was a teacher, mentor, and friend. Thank you and God bless.

Mr. Coviello took over our class when Mr. Sherman was in a car accident so we didn't have him for a full year but he left such an impression on us. I met him again at our 10th year class reunion. He was always my favorite teacher and what a gentleman. He will be sorely missed. Condolences to his family. Thanks for sharing him with us.

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.
