JOHN MADDEN Obituary

MADDEN--John Patrick,

of Southampton, NY passed away August 8 after a valiant battle with AML. Born in the Bronx, NY on September 9, 1945 to Eugene Patrick and Eileen Gaughan Madden, who predeceased him, John leaves behind his beloved fiancee Mary Allen and adoring sons Samuel Patrick and Christopher Michael. He is survived by sisters Maryalice DuVal, Eileen Osmolskis (Paul), and Kathleen Baumeister (John); brother Eugene (Rene); eight nieces and nephews; and many long- time friends. After obtaining a BCE from Manhattan College and an MSCE from NYU, John served as a civil engineer, primarily for the US Corps of Engineers, for nearly a decade. He then received a Juris Doctor from St. John's University, and launched a diverse career as an international arbitrator, mediator, lawyer, and law professor. John served as a neutral on such projects as the "Big Dig" in Boston, the Dublin Port Tunnel, Wembley Stadium in London, and the Jumbo Ferry project in Puget Sound, Washington. He was admitted to practice before the US Supreme Court, US Patent and Trademark Office, US District Courts, New York and New Jersey Bars, and was a member of the Law Societies of Ireland and of England and Wales. John was a longtime member of the National Arts Club and numerous international associations. John taught mediation at both Trinity College, Dublin and Fordham University.

I knew John through his brother Gene who I worked with a very, very, very long time ago. I have always felt a kinship with the Madden boys. Our shared Irish American backgrounds and crazy sense of humor have kept our friendship going all these years. Even though we didn't see each other due to me moving down the Jersey Shore, when we did meet up it was as if we saw each other yesterday. That is the special way John had he was a true gentleman, kind spirit, loving and generous to his family and friends. We are blessed to have known him.

John was a real gentleman and my sincerest condolences to his friends and family. When I was starting my career as an arbitrator/mediator/conciliator here in Dublin John acted as a friend and mentor to me in this process and I really appreciated it. He was a good man and will be missed.

John and I met in 1987, introduced by Sally. We practiced law together, took summer vacations together with our families. John sponsored me into the National Arts Club and I still have the photo taken that night of Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola, MIchael Powell, Aldon James, John Madden, and me. John was a happy man, full of life, energy, positive spirit, and love of his family But nothing made him as happy and proud as his sons, Sam and Chris, whom he loved with all his being. We will miss you John, but you enriched our lives, and we all better people for having known you. Rest In Peace, my friend.

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".
