SOME HIGHLIGHTS FROM LETTERS TO & ABOUT MANDY
|
|
|
A few years later when I was commissioned a Chaplain in my Army Reserve unit, Mandy bought me officer's uniforms. When I became pastor of the Church in Mount Vernon, NY, Mandy became a supporter of our many activities. He is there with our children every summer for our annual pizza party.
Mandy has helped so many people over the years, I know that God has a special place for him in His Kingdom. . . .

The secret can now be told. After 50 years of dedicated City service, a thorough analysis has indicated that the major reason for Al Mandanici's success can finally be revealed: endurance!

Couple that with the fact that he had a firm belief in a set of principles concerning the critical work performed by his membership, the Captain as First-Line Supervisor - the backbone of the Department... And that he felt secure in their loyalty and support...
And that in the performance of his duties as President, he was . . . reasonable, determined but not threatening, and of utmost importance, he was respectful, loyal, and trustworthy.
That's my friend, Al Mandanicl.

In my life I have had outstanding tutors, but one who has stood out in my mind is the Captain of all Captains, Alfred Mandanici.

Joseph M. Ramos [Mr. Ramos is a former Deputy Commissioner of the NYC Correction Dept.]
When you think of someone who is considerate, compassionate, and has concern for others, you think of Al Mandanicl.
He is the lifeline between the CCA office and all retired Captains. Mandy is tireless, hard-working, always running the office effectively. He is fair, firm, and consistent, and the office will not be the same without him.

Mario Biaggi was President and I was 5th Vice President. I found Mandy to be very sincere and loyal to Mario Biaggi and to me. He will always be a good and dear friend.
