Less than two weeks after the death of longtime spokesman Craig Greenberg, American International College is once again in mourning, this time over the sudden passing of The Rev. John H. DeBonville, the institution’s spiritual leader.
DeBonville, 66, served as Director of the Campus Ministry and the International Office, among his many positions at the school since he started working there in 1982. He was also a professor of courses about world religions.
The cause of his death is not yet clear, but he was only sick for a few days before passing away on Saturday, July 5.
