Born in Staten Island, NY, November 17, 1923, he showed his promise early in life by winning the National Soap Box Derby Championship in Akron, Ohio. He served the Army in WWII as a private.

This was home to exotic animals, including tigers, guanacos, camels, pigmy horses, zebras, a kangaroo and various farm animals. Ed was an avid golfer, and could be found often at Meridian Hills Country Club. Ed always loved teaching Orthopedics to students at Indiana University. At this era in medicine you were allowed to treat your patients as humans not numbers. It was a gift and there was great joy in helping others. He retired in 1990, moved to Atlantis, Florida, and soon was found treating migrant workers at the Caridad Clinic in Boynton Beach. Later they moved to Merritt Island, Florida and he worked at the Path Clinic in Brevard County. He was never far from a friend who needed his advice and help.

Ed was a very exceptional man and had friends too numerous to mention but never the less, loved. Ed and Jodi decided to donate his body to Science Care so he can continue in death to aid in his chosen career. Ed's favorite Charities are: Salvation Army, Covenant House, Caridad and Path Clinic.

O'Brien Obituary AUBURN | Dr. Francis R. O'Brien, 82, passed away Monday, Sept. 3, 2012. He was born in Philadelphia, Pa., on April 29, 1930. After graduating from CBA High School in Syracuse, he attended Manhattan College and went on to earn his medical degree from SUNY Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn. In 1952 he married Sonja Kardorff. They just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary in June of this year. He served in the Army for two years and was stationed, along with his family, at Fort Eustis, Va. Upon completing his residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology he started his OB/GYN practice in Auburn, in 1960 and continued practicing in Auburn until his retirement in 1990. Dr. O'Brien delivered over 6,000 babies during his career. He was loved by his patients and maternity nurses for his calm, casual manner and his sense of humor that always put everyone at ease. Learning was a passion of his. He constantly read books on a wide variety of subjects and, with his children in tow, visited museums across various U.S. cities. He found it exciting to explore the Mayan ruins in Mexico each year and once ventured in his motor home into Guatemala and surrounding countries. Dr. O'Brien also played recreational softball for many years in Auburn. He pitched for his team, the Medics, and once pitched a perfect game. Above all, he felt most at home on his farm in Weedsport. He loved his vegetable gardens and even built a greenhouse with wood-burning stove to keep his plants warm on cold fall nights. Family and friends loved the pies he'd bake using apples, pumpkins and elderberries that he grew himself. A consummate "do-it-yourself" man, he would cut down trees on his farm to make lumber using his own sawmill. He would use the lumber to build buildings around the farm. He is survived by his wife of 60 years, Sonja O'Brien; three sons, Timothy (Paula) O'Brien, of Auburn, Richard (Ruth) O'Brien, of Bothell, Wash., and Thomas O'Brien, of Weedsport; three daughters, Patricia (Donald) Hotaling-Clark, of Hannibal, Barbara (J. Stephen) Bonilla, of Auburn, and Susan Herrling, of Elbridge; 20 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Dr. O'Brien was predeceased by an infant son, Michael, in 1961. There were no calling hours. A Mass of Christian burial was held at Holy Family Church in Auburn on Sept. 6 for immediate family members. Donations in his memory may be made to Hospice of the Finger Lakes, 1130 Corporate Drive, Auburn, NY 13021. Dr. O'Brien will be greatly missed by his family, friends and former patients.

2012-Oct-08JBLOGGER: Petrone, Louis S. "Key West Lou" (MC1957) reports meeting with Kelly, Jack [MC1968]http://keywestlou.com/category/manhattan-college/A GRAND EVENING Posted on October 6, 2012 by keywestlou *** begin quote *** While I was sitting there, a couple stopped by. They had been looking for me at the Chart Room. Emily sent them over to Hot Tin Roof. I am a Manhattan College graduate. A few miles up the road is Cudjoe Key. A fellow Manhattan graduate lives there. He reads this blog religiously and occasionally comments. He too is a Jasper. Jasper is the nick name for Manhattan grads. His name Jack Kelly. Graduated from Manhattan College in 1968. A young man compared to me. I graduated in 1957. He was with his charming wife Sabina. A real nice person. We talked a while. I was excited to have finally met him. He likewise was excited. We are probably the only Manhattan graduates in the Keys. Jack did the Air Force ROTC while at Manhattan. Later was a fighter pilot. Retired from the military at some point. Now enjoys Key West and the lower keys. Jack brought back memories of Manhattan College. He was wearing a tee shirt with writing and an emblem on it. The Pershing Rifles. The organization was a gung ho extension of the ROTC at Manhattan. Meant Jack was really into the military thing while a student. Contrasted with Louis. I left the ROTC after two years. It was enough. I hated the marching, left face, right face, etc. Officers were always shouting that I was out of step. Mentally, I would respond that it was not me. It was the rest of the group. I actually did not go on with the ROTC after two years because a four or five year committment was required upon being commissioned. I wanted to go directly to law school. A four or five year delay was not part of my plans. We intend to have dinner together soon. My evening out turned into a big time winner! Dan and Nancy. Then Jack and Sabina. In between, Jean and Stephanie. *** end quote *** Petrone, Louis S. "Key West Lou" (MC1957) Kelly, Jack [MC1968] # - # - # - # - # 2012-Oct-08 @ 22:45 |

MORAN March 1, 1925 - October 4, 2012 Walden, NY Dr. William F. Moran of Walden, former Superintendent of Valley Central Schools, passed away on October 4, 2012, with his family at his side. The loving husband of the former Carol VanWyck of Nyack, NY, proud father of Judy (John) Mottola, Bill (Patricia), Mike (Tracey) and Bob Moran, grandfather of eight and great-grandfather of two, "Doc" was 87 years old. Bill was born March 1, 1925 and raised in Manchester NH, attended Manhattan College, received his masters from the City University of New York and earned his Doctorate in Education from Fordham University. He served with the Brothers in New York City before setting off on a career of teaching and coaching, beginning at Tappan Zee High School in Piermont, NY. Although he had a short coaching career, due to a promotion to Assistant Principal, Coach Moran took the Tappan Zee men's basketball team to a PSAL title in 1957-58 and earned Coach of the Year honors two years in a row. As an educator, Dr. Moran was appointed the Valley Central Principal in 1963 before taking over as Superintendent only one year later. Bill would remain in this position for nearly twenty years. Under his leadership, the district grew in terms of facilities, students and curriculum to the point where it was once the 5th largest school district in the country. He also guided the district toward tripling the rate of students acquiring a Regents diploma while turning Valley Central athletics into an Orange County power house. He would go on to serve as the Executive Director of both the Mid-Hudson School Study Council and NYS School Boards Association in Albany, representing the interests of kids and teachers across NY State. With his passion for athletics and the value of competition never far from his mind, for 16 years (1983-1999) Dr. Moran served as Section IX's first Executive Director where he was widely regarded as its most influential director. He would also serve for 17 years on the NYS Public High School Athletic Association Executive Committee where he worked tirelessly at ensuring leagues in his section teamed up to re-write the section constitution and bring fair representation in athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the NY State Public High School Athletic Association Hall of Fame. A Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, October 12th, at 4:30 p.m. at the Most Precious Blood Catholic Church, Walnut St., Walden, NY, with a celebration of Bill's life to be held at the Osiris Country Club following Mass.

2012-Oct-13COMMENT: Pisco, Jay T. [MC1980] Mechanical Engineering(coast2coast2night) commented on JNEWS: Pisco, Jay T. [MC1980] Commissioner Westchester County Public WorksJay is my father. The news articles are incorrect. He has a mechanical engineering degree from manhattan college. As I stated above the news articles cited this incorrectly. Biomedical bachelor degrees wouldn't help much as Comissioner of public works and transportation. Thanks. # - # - # [JR: Humorously when I read this I though: "Maybe he could give CPR to taxpayers when they see the cost of 'public works'." As a little L libertarian I couldn't resist.
