My deepest condolences to the family. I knew Ernie from ITT, he was my boss. Always looking after me and encouraging me. He was invited to my wedding and my mom always said what a good polka dancer he was. 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 mans death diminishes me". We are sorry for your loss.
