To the Deguisto family, I am so sorry. Squishy (as we called Eddie at HMH-461) was an outstanding Marine, an entertaining friend to many, and had a work ethic seldom matched. It was my honor to serve alongside him. Rest easy Squishy.

I would like to express my deepest condolences to the DeGuisto family during this difficult time. I pray that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring you the same comfort it has brought me. Reflecting on such tender promises gives hope, and that hope can be so consoling at times like these.

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.
