Karen and I will truly miss Al. His wisdom and service for over 40 to Hillsdale on the planning board was key to the quality that residents enjoy today. Timothy P. O'Reilly, Sr.

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.
