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.

My sincere condolences. I will always fondly remember Jonathan running through the hallways at work, always late for something. He was quick with a smile and a joke or a well placed wisecrack. I miss him already.

My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. I will always picture Jon as a warm, wonderful person with a smile on his face and a wonderfully creative mind.
We shared many happy times in both high school and in college.
