Julia and family:
Our deepest sympathies to all of you on the loss of a fine gentleman. I read in his obituary that he was a big Giants fan. He would have enjoyed knowing that my cousin, Mark Herzlich, is a Defensive Linebacker (#94) for the Giants and has been on the team for 5 years. We could have shared great stories if I had known we had that in common in addition to the Wheaten connection.
Our sincere condolences to you and yours,
Sue and Harvey G.

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 mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
