I know we are all feeling a little bit sad. We've lost our Poppy, our friend and our dad. Together we have cried an ocean of tears, as we feel so empty and hold many fears. But Poppy would want us to know he's in a good place, and that he watching us all with a smile on his face. As we have made him so proud, as proud as can be. That he has raised such a beautiful and special family. Thinking back now I really must say I feel lucky and privileged to have known Poppy to this day. For in my life, he has played a special part, but the memories I will treasure and keep close to my heart, and for all of us, be grateful, his life is now complete. To each one of us he has loved and cared. Be thankful for the good times we shared, and although he has gone we will always be together, and his spirit will live on each one of us forever. When you look to the sky, look for the brightest star, as that will be Poppy looking down on us from afar. I would like to thank the good Lord above for blessing us with our Poppy with his kindness and love. Dear God, if it is not too much fuss, take extra special care of our Poppy as he is very dear to us. Poppy if you are listening say a prayer for us every day. Be sure to protect us and guide us on our way. We know when God called you, you had to go. But we want you to know Poppy we miss you and love you so. #1

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.
