Fr. John’s death is a loss to all of his family, friends and especially to us Vincentians, his confreres. I treasure our collaboration as CM provincials as well as our friendship. We are all better people for having known him. May he rest in God’s peace.

I cannot express the gratitude and joy I feel for having known Fr. John since 1971. The bond he made with my family is something we will treasure forever. I have never known a more generous, gracious, kindhearted individual, and I will always cherish the times we spent on the golf course, sitting down to a fine meal together, or celebrating a mass. I take comfort in the fact that he is now at eternal peace with God, and in all the lives his hand has shaped for the better over these many years. Rest easy, my friend.

For many years John was a valued member of the Vincentian Studies Institute representing the New England Province. Beyond this, he was a treasured confrere and colleague. He will be sorely missed. Our deepest sympathies to the confreres of the province and his family. May he rest in peace.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.

Amen.

Sad, sad news… Rest In Peace Fr. John… Thank you. Your example. influence, instruction are deeply appreciated by your former students at St. John Kanty Prep. You probably never realized the influence you had in creating so many proud “men of Kanty”. We honor your memory and want you to know how much we value those years. — Mike Trott (KP77)
