Rev. J. Daniel Nolan

Dan Nolan and I spent three years in the seminary together. One at Mater Christi and two at St. Mary´s Pack Street. I tried unsuccessfully to find him about 15 years ago. He was an amazing athlete and judging from these accolades a dedicated priest. Requiem aternam dona eam Domine!

I remember Fr. Dan from seminary days as a friendly, kind, sensitive young man who stood out in my mind for his prayerfulness and deep spirituality.

You don't forget the boyhood & lifelong friend that you named your first born son after! In our case that would be our son Daniel Nolan Leahy. True story: Early in 2019 at age 58 our son Dan was diagnosed with serious cancer. He continued treatments throughout the year and in Oct. he was given the good news that he was cancer free. I firmly believe that the spirit of my friend, in heaven, Dan Nolan, had a bearing on Dan Leahy being cured of the dreaded "C". You see Fr. Dan doesn't...

Father Nolan and his family were long time friends with my family, Jane & Frank Hannaberry. Father Nolan officiated at my marriage to Carl T Scarda, April 1971. We lost contact with the Nolans through the years since we live near York, Pennsylvania. I just found this obituary on the internet.

You lived a life of humbleness and kindness. You are a person of the highest order. It was an HONOR to have known you.

I was surprised to hear that Father Dan passed away. My Dad, Harry Robens, always spoke of Father Dan as a great man -- they were best of friends growing up. I was fortunate to know Father Dan, and got a glimpse of why my Dad thought so highly of him. They are reunited in heaven catching up on the "good old days".

My prayers are with Father Dan and his family.

Sincerely,
Joe Robens

Dear Jasper and Tom,
My deepest sympathies on the untimely death of Father Dan. What a great, good man and holy priest. I am using his life as an inspiration for my own kids and those I teach. There are few like him. It's clear he came from a wonderful family. May God comfort you in this sad time, and may Father Dan now help us all get to heaven with him.

Jasper & Tom.
I am so sad to have heard of Dan' s passing. Please accept my deepest sympathies. He will be in my prayers. He was a role model for me and I have often thought of him throughout my life.
May God be with him.

Jasper & Tom:
The Kalbaugh Family sends our most sincere sympathy to you. Who would ever have thought that Fr. Dan would pass just three months after my Dad? You should know that he called my Mom and had a wonderful conversation with her that was very meaningful and consoling to her. We have said that "Coach" and "Danny" must have had a great reunion in heaven.

Our prayers are with you. The entire Nolan Family meant so much to all of us.
