Anthony, Mary Ellen, Jimmy, Peter, and Christopher:

I was saddened to hear about your father's passing yesterday. Unfortunately, I cannot attend, but will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

He was an influential man and I learned much from him. He lived life fully with gusto and I will miss him.

Growing up as a friend of the Scala family was a remarkable experience; I was fortunate to know him and you. He truly treated me as a family member, and for that I consider myself all the more fortunate.

Peace,

Dennis

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.
