So very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. I will always remember him at Cranford sporting events encouraging us to do our best. He was an iconic figure in Cranford and at St. Michael's Church. He will be missed by all of us who knew him. Patrick Roche and The Roche Family

I extend prayerful condolences to Mr. Walsh's family. I regret that, being away, I am unable to attend the Wake or funeral Mass for a very faithful parishioner. He will be remembered, of course, in our Sunday Intercessions at St. Michael's.

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.
