News Release Dr. Joseph Reynolds, Former Chair Of Manhattan College’s Chemical Engineering Department, Dies At 71 Reynolds joined the College in 1964 and served as chair of the chemical engineering department from 1976-1983. Prior to his arrival at the College, Reynolds taught high school chemistry and physics full time at LaSalle Academy in New York City from 1957-59, and college chemistry part time for The Catholic University of America while pursuing his doctoral degree. Reynolds was a four-time recipient of the Outstanding
Teacher award given by “I think that the students really enjoyed his courses,”
says Dr. Walter Saukin, associate professor of
civil and environmental engineering at As part of his academic duties, Reynolds served for many years as moderator of the student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) and was president of the College’s Sigma Xi chapter, the national honor society that recognizes original research in pure and applied sciences. Off campus, he developed and taught courses in hazardous waste incinerator calculations for the Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Pollution Training Institute. “It seemed that Reynolds presented many papers and chaired sessions at technical meetings, coordinated continuing education programs in connection with those meetings, published several articles in science and engineering journals, and served as general chairman of a national conference on energy and the environment. Reynolds was a member of the Air and Waste Management Association and the American Society for Engineering Education, as well as the honorary societies Sigma Xi, Tau Beta Pi, Phi Beta Kappa, the national honor society for liberal arts colleges, and Phi Lambda Upsilon, the national honor society for chemistry. He was listed in American Men and Women in Science, Who’s Who in Technology Today, International Who’s Who in Engineering and Who’s Who in Engineering. “He will be dearly missed by all those whose lives he touched,” says Ronald Leone ’67, former director, systems management operation at The BOC Group, and a consultor to the College’s chemical engineering department. “Joe was the embodiment of the spirit and tradition that so richly permeates the department.” Reynolds, a A wake will be held on Friday, May 4 at

JNews: Remembering Bill Weisgerber (1971 RIP) http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ Jaspers fan a genuine loss at RCC (Original publication: April 29, 2007) *** begin quote *** Every now and then, someone walking past my home will stop to offer either a compliment, gripe or idea for a column. About four years ago, a new neighbor - a fellow about my
age who always wore a He knew my name and recognized me as a fellow Bill Weisgerber and I weren’t
friends in college, but we had crossed paths and now, more than 30 years
later, we were neighbors. We talked about my work and his, both as a
securities and insurance broker and financial planner and as a teacher on the
adjunct faculty at But mostly, we talked about Bill took that to mean he had to keep me up to date on He was pleased with the Jaspers’ 10-8 record in the MAAC Conference this past season under new coach Barry Rohrssen. I had hoped to go to their first game in the conference
tournament in A few days after they lost that game to We did a quick season review, and I asked if he had gotten to any games. He had made it to one early on, he said, but couldn’t drive that far anymore. “Let’s make a point of getting to two or three next season,” I said. “I’d like that if it’s possible,” Bill said, “but I’m terminal. I have pancreatic cancer.” I told him I was sorry, and he told me about going with
his father, also a That was Bill, laughing in the face of a killer illness. Folks at RCC who knew Bill during more than 20 years teaching there talk about his dignity facing death, his devotion to his economics students - who called him The Professor - and his passion for the Jaspers. Jim Thelen, who has taught math at the college for 33 years, saw Bill there every Saturday. They always talked sports and basketball, Thelen says. More than a decade ago, they had gone to a game together and Thelen saw a transformation. “This man, who was reserved and measured in his speech and everything he did, was up there with the students, basically making a fool out of himself and proud of it.” “This gentle soul,” Thelen says
of Bill, “is part of my heritage at RCC and in Gene Homicki, who graduated from
“Bill and I had a standing comedy routine,” Homicki says. “I would ask him why “Bill enjoyed living,” he says. “Being in the classroom and being at RCC were very important to him. Teaching is a wonderful profession, and Bill was a wonderful teacher. We will miss him, but we know that he is in heaven.” Martin Lecker, who was chairman of the business department from 1991 to 1995 and from 2002 to 2006, says Bill would always volunteer when the department needed someone in an emergency. Lecker thinks that was part of a kindness Bill always displayed. “Bill was very student-oriented and a very kind soul. He would do anything to help out the students or RCC,” Lecker says. One of those students, Joshua Roberts of Suffern, says, “Professor Weisgerber was probably the nicest person I’ve had as a teacher. He’s made a big impact on me.” Roberts was in an economics course Weisgerber taught during the short, intense winter break. The way he approached it, Roberts says, it was about much more than economics. “It was a class about life. He used the class as therapy for himself,” Robert says, adding, “It helped me look at my own life and my problems and realize how minuscule they are.” During that term, Bill knew how serious his illness was and told students he hoped to finish the spring term. “He always said he would teach until he could teach no more,” Roberts says. That day came March 26, about three weeks after my last conversation with Bill. The following Thursday, Bill left for Rosary Hill, a
skilled nursing facility in Two days later, Gene Homicki and his wife visited Bill. “When we got there, he was reading the paper, and when we left the painkillers were getting to him,” Homicki says. “In almost two hours, he complained only once about the pain.” On April 12, RCC President Cliff Wood and Roberts, the student trustee on the RCC board, visited Rosary Hill to present Bill a plaque in honor of his long service to the college and his devotion to its students. Bill died two days later. At his wake, a Reach Bob Baird at rbaird AT lohud DOT com or *** end quote *** [JR: I was touched by this story. In so many ways, on so many levels, for so many reasons.

JObit: Joseph J. Kiernan (MCattendee) Staten Island Advance ( Born and raised in Mr. Kiernan served in the Army during World War II as a
staff sergeant in the European and North African theaters. Upon his return
from the war, he lived in ADVERTISING DIRECTOR Mr. Kiernan was the director of advertising for 40 years
for the Singer Sewing Company in Fellow Army soldier Warren Jaques, a member of the St. Peter’s basketball team that Mr. Kiernan managed, was killed during combat during World War II. Upon his return from the war, Mr. Kiernan and other members of the high school basketball team wanted to honor their fallen teammate. As a result, they formed the Warren M. Jaques
Memorial Committee almost 60 years ago to honor the “Joe Kiernan was the committee. Joe just kept the work going and kept the organization going during its hardest times,” said the committee’s current chairman Marty Doherty. “Many organizations start and they all start with a good purpose, but 10 years, 15 years, 20 years down the line, they just cease to exist. Next year will be 60 years and the reason for it is a person like Joe Kiernan. He and the other founding members devoted a great deal of time and energy to it.” “He had an awful lot of common sense,” added former District Attorney William Murphy, a Jaques Committee member since 1977. “Joe never thought he was the smartest guy in the world. He would look around and figure out who had the best ideas about a situation and highlight them by doing it. He got a lot of people to come together who probably wouldn’t have been inclined to.” REMAINED ACTIVE In addition to his work with the Jaques committee, Mr. Kiernan continued to remain active well into his later years, playing golf and taking part in the Staten Island Senior Olympics. He was also a longtime volunteer at St. Vincent’s “Every day he and his wife went to visit people at the hospital, usually right after mass. Most of the time they visited people they didn’t even know. He and his wife are two of the finest people that I have ever met,” said Doherty. Mr. Kiernan served as the treasurer of the Holy Name
Society at CREATED ARTWORK An artist, he often sketched pictures of landscapes while serving in the Army. After returning from the war, he recreated many of the sketches on canvas using oil paints. He also made special occasion cards for family and friends. “So many people loved him because of his great sense of humor. He will remembered because he treated everyone with respect and kindness,” added his nephew, Jamie Wood. Surviving are his wife of 57 years, the former Margaret (Peg) Larkin, and three generations of nieces and nephews. LOOKUP The funeral will be Wednesday from the Harmon Home for
