We pray for Denis and his family at this time. He was a man of deep faith in the Catholic Church . Denis was very knowledgeable and told great stories. His wonderful daughters are a result of Denis and his wife's great parenting.He was a great Notre Dame football fan. 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.
