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.

Maureen and Family, please accept my sincerest condolences on Ron's passing. I had no idea he was ill, so it came as a real shock. I had made plans to come up north in the next few weeks for an appointment and thought it would have been nice to stop by and grab a breakfast with him.
I have many enjoyable memories of the great discussions we had at our Pal's Cabin breakfast meetings. It was always a joy to spend a few hours covering a wide variety of subjects with Ron. He was a very smart man who was always able to intelligently discuss anything from finance to technology to religion to politics, and you could even throw in soccer as well. The insightful emails that he would send every week or so will be sorely missed.
Ron was a great man and I'll always feel lucky to have known him. He will be fondly remembered in my prayers.
With sympathy,
