As many of you know, I recently (his funeral Mass was on Christmas Eve) lost my brother and I appreciate the calls/messages from Board members. And I know another poster recently lost his sister, a couple of days before my brother died. And it is with sadness that I read today that a brother of still another poster has left us. Paul Ritzcovan graduated from Iona Prep with me and also attended Iona College where we played Intra-Mural football on the same team. He was a bear of a man and a very nice guy. My prayers go out to Paul, his family and his brother John. Many of you might have met him working at his father's diner down on North Avenue, between Huguenot and Main. May he rest in peace.

Wow--one of the downsides of living out of the area is that news like this arrives late. My condolences to Don, John, and the 3rd poster who experienced a recent loss.

Condolences to all of you on the loss of a sibling.

[As many of you know, I recently (his funeral Mass was on Christmas Eve) lost my brother and I appreciate the calls/messages from Board members....Quote IC59........
IC59........Sorry for your loss.......
Reading the Obit in the local paper my thoughts were of you especially as it mentioned ''A graduate of Iona college and a resident of Tuckahoe''...I remembered you once mentioned you lived somewhere near that area..... Prior to the Florida G.C. game I mentioned the obit to E. Patrick...He showed great concern and immediately ran up into the stands to try to get more information..........
I have a brother age 87 a retired firefighter...We have been 'Buddies' for life...I can imagine the sadness without his daily visits.......
Hope to see you at the up coming 3 home games......
