My Uncle Emmett was the kindest and sweetest man I've ever known. We who have known him are so fortunate. This world needs more Emmett O'Connells.

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.
