As you know I knew your brother as a tween. We used to have long talks while walking to the store or West-street playground. He was always asking questions about animals & life. He was a big part of my childhood back on Plainfield St.
I am so sorry for your loss, Marilyn.
He was a good son, brother & Preist.

Father was a wonderful sheppard to all he met. He was a good friend and advisor to my family long after he left St. Mary's parish. Through the years he managed to stay in touch with many of us. A wonderful priest, leader and friend.
Our deepest sympathies,

Father Jim convinced me to take on the role of cantor at St. Mary's, Longmeadow, even though I had never done anything like that previously and was reluctant to take on the position. "You only have to do it until the congregation starts singing", he told me. 30 years later, they still were not singing! I greatly appreciated his encouragement and support as I grew into this role. I also admired and appreciated his priestly ministery during his time in Longmeadow. God bless you, Father Jim.

Father Jim
was such a kind and caring man, when he was pastor here in Greenfield at Holy Trinity I worked as his house keeper and as 1st Communion Teacher, he was a wonderful boss he was funny ,always had a smile no matter what he was so very helpful and I remember his beloved puppies so very well. I have sent him christmas cards every year since he left and my family and I will always have a special place in our hearts for him. He was so good to my children We were truly blessed to...

I'm so sad to hear of the passing of Father Menge. I was a parishner of Our Lady of the Lake Church in Southwick for many years. He came back to the church when my class made confirmation which was shortly after he left the parrish. You will be in the hands of the lord.
