Jean and family,
Our condolences on the loss of your dad Kieran. It was a privilege to have known him as he truly was one of a kind. He never missed a beat, whether giving driving directions to his favorite Dunkin Donuts or refreshing his recollection of math equations. God bless him and keep him in His loving care. May you and your family have peace and God's blessings during this difficult time.

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.
