Sad day indeed. I had the good fortune to have my BB tix, directly behind Charlie McCabe and Mike Haggerty. As a VP of Manny Hanny, Charlie's secretary was Jeanie Blaney, who married Pat Kennedy. And from that time, Charlie, who I believe (not sure) is a Holy Cross alum, became a great fan of the Gaels. Mike, an Iona alum, was a top exec at another Bank, but I forget which one. The GC post game receptions are held in the Haggerty Room. Unfortunately, I didn't know the two professors, but may they all RIP.

This is terrible, and it begs a lot of questions. First and foremost, prayers are with the entire family. Have the circumstances of this horrible event been cleared up? Has Fran been found? I am interested in hearing that there is an explanation for this event and that the family can move on in peace. |

RIP! I did not connect the above with IDA and the damage it inflicted on the Northeast and NY area. This is indeed tragic, and I can only pray for peace for family, including extended Iona family, going forward. |

To be clear, as of Friday afternoon authorities still had not discovered the body of Fran. I have seen no other announcement to contradict this. Tragic. |

This is just a heartbreaking story. Too many legends in the Iona community have left us recently. May all of them RIP.
