I was very sorry to hear about my colleague Walter. I worked with him at Raytheon for only 4 years. But in that short time, I learned that he was a brilliant man who was honest, trustworthy, and had impeccable integrity. I will truly miss Walter. My condolences to all who knew him and especially to his entire 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 mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
