My Uncle was a kind, wonderful man who made a difference in our lives and in his community. Although we feel he was taken too soon, We know he is in a better place surrounded by loved ones - especially his twin brother, Bill. I imagine that the two of them are playing ball right now - exactly where they left off. God Bless, you will always be in our hearts - The Fano Family

I know my beloved Uncle Ed is at peace and that he went straight to heaven on angels wings. I will always miss him, but take comfort knowing that he is now with his twin brother, my Daddy.

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.
