Rev. John A. Lucal

Dear Family of Fr. Jack, Ron & I attended the first two Cursillos held in Geneve, Switzerland. That is how we met Fr. Jack. He made a great impact on our lives. Not only were we impressed with his brillant mind but how kind, loving and giving he was as a person and a dear friend. He shared many meals with us in our apartment while we all lived in Geneve. It was always a pleasure and honor to have him at our table. He was a great inspiration to all of us whose lives he touched. He will...

Dear Janet,my sincere sympathy st the loss of Jack. I had the good fortune to converse with him several months back via email. I was delighted to reach him after so long. We spoke of old times and of our folks.and the "good ol days" in Oak Park.The world is a better place for his being here.

Jay & I have special memories of Father Jack as we experienced the Cursillo Team from Peoria for the first two English Cursillos in Geneva. He always kept in touch. He is especially remembered for the spiritual message and the offering of Masses in Turkey for Parky when she was in Intensive Care in SC three years ago. He has made an indelible mark on ours and many other lives across the world.

Dear Janet & family,
We have such fond memories of our time in Geneva with Fr. Jack. Many contacts through Cursillo and the John XXIII Parish allowed us to get to know him and benefit greatly from his intellect, insight and great spirit of Justice, all with an international backdrop. He was a great friend and gift in our lives and we continue to be blessed by that friendship. Our sincere condolences as we are sure you will miss him greatly. We rejoice in his life and praise the Lord...
