It has been more than 40 years since I had seen Don, but I'm very saddened by his death. He had been a very personable bartender at the Yankee Tavern during my college years, and I had a chance to connect with him shortly after he got involved with Dresners. Lots of great memories of Don. May he rest in peace.

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.
