Another year has gone by. RIP Father T. Pray for me in my time of need.

RIP Father T. You were a great friend.

Jim Tahaney and I were classmates at Immaculate Conception Seminary; he as a Deacon and me in first year Philosophy. I left at the end of that year but attended his ordinatyion and first Mass in 1963. He attended our wedding in 1965, and we remained friends until my relocation in the mid-80's. He truly helped me discern my vocation in life. Sorry to read of his early passing.

May you continue to rest in peace. My wife and I have fond memories of our time with you.

I met Msgr. Tahaney at St. Mary Mother of Jesus Church in Brooklyn. I was a secretary in the rectory at the time. Father Tahaney baptized half of my 15 grandchildren and was a comfort to me and my family throughout the years that he served St. Mary's. May he rest in peace. Amen.

I first met Father Tahaney when he was stationed at St. Mary Mother of Jesus Church in Brooklyn, New York. I was in elementary school at the parish. We stayed friends over the years. Father Tahaney presided at my wedding and baptized my four sons. I am saddened by the loss of a true friend. May he rest in peace at the side of our Lord.
