Father Albert J. M. Shamon

Thank you even after all this time your teachings have reached me

The very sweetest father I have ever known. He was introduced to me by a wonderful friend, Jean villa. Father was a fabulous advisor and do kind hearted. I just happened upon this sad news of his passing. Save me a good spot next to you up there. You are loved and not forgotten.

Father Shamon will always remain vivid in our memories. Our visit to his library a few years ago was memorable. His appearances at our first Friday masses with his humor was looked forward to. His homilies were always appropriate and delivered without a microphone.In May 2001 we joined him with a small group from Syracuse including Bishop Moynihan on a pilgriamge to Lourdes with the Knights and Dames of Malta. When it was found out that it was our wedding anniversary, Bishop Moynihan...

Father Shamon was a great priest and I miss him for the rest of my life but I know he is in a better place and getting many rewards for all the wonderful work he has done here on earth. He made me a better person not only in faith but in education. Tyburn will never be the same he was the heart and soul of that school and I hope we can all live up to his name and make (like he wanted)it a big Catholic shool. I love you Father and you I am praying that I may someday see you again.

Father we love you and we'll miss you soo much at Tyburn! You were a great man and we'll never forget you! You are in our prayers!

FATHER SHAMON,
I MISS YOU AND I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER AND THANK YOU FOR TYBURN AND EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR US. IF IT WASNT FOR YOU I WOULDNT BE WHERE I AM OR WHO I AM TODAY!! I LOVE YOU AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART AND PRAYERS!!! AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE WHERE YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO BE AND THAT YOU WILL BE WATCHING OVER ALL OF US!!

Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord. Your devoted servant has been called home. May he be richly rewarded for bringing so many souls to You.

Father Shamon was a wonderful man. He was brilliant, honest, and caring.
During the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus,
Father Shamon, Gilda Geiss, and I co-authored the booklet, "Christopher Columbus, Forty Facts". His knowledge and his efforts were a great asset to this project. I will never forget him.
