Jack Driscoll was a graduate student of mine prior to his appointment as President of Iona College. I was deeply grateful to him for his sensitivity in the reorganization of what was then the Graduate Division of Pastoral Counseling. Jack was always sensitive to the visions of others, but no less was able to provide his community and his world with a keen sensitivity and illumination. I had not seen Brother Driscoll for many years, but miss him even now.

Brother Driscoll taught me three classes (math,physics and religion) in my Junior year at Power Memorial Academy; they were always the three best classes of the day. He was not only a great teacher, but he was one of the most compassionate persons whom I have ever known.
The world is a better place because of the way that Bro.Driscoll lived his life, and he will be sorely missed.
May God's consoling love be with you in the days and weeks to come.

A Christian Brother I will never forget from his being my Calculus teacher in 1968 to the fine work as President of Iona; Br. Driscoll attacked each problem with a well thought out theorem. His accomplishments speak for themselves. I am proud to have crossed path with this fine educator.
