I knew John as the guy who sat in back of the Sheil during Sunday Mass. We would always have a short friendly exchange when I was the Sacristan. I will miss his "anchor". I am sorry I will miss his Mass as I will be on a business trip.

Lively, curious, kind, a lovely man. My fond and enduring memory of John is meeting him, completely by accident, one bright summer day, in front of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris! I regret very much that I will be unable to attend the funeral Mass, as I am still in Paris. Carole, you have my deep sympathy for your great loss. May God be with you.

I enjoyed many post-Sheil lunches with John. I think his smile says it all--he was a fun raconteur and commentator on all things cultural/political/religious. We will all miss that smile.
