Rev. John P. LaGoe

Say a prayer for all of us on earth. We sure need it Father!

He loved to fish the Fox River, especially with his brother Jim.

Fr. Jack, I am going to really to miss you....I remember our visits and the advice that you gave me. You are the very best.

A wonderful priest I went to Saint Joseph´s and Catholic Central class of 1968.

Father LaGoe was the epitomy of Love and Selfless Sacrifice, Our Earthly Loss Is Heavens Gain...

He was an amazing teacher at Muskegon Catholic Central. He made us think about others instead of ourselves. A true inspiration to live and care for others .

Life well lived Father Jack! You were truly a servant of the people! Your courage and compassion taught me that there is always a way to do the right thing. You taught me to never leave a stone unturned when trying to meet the needs of others. Everyone who breathed, was worthy, everyone you touched, was blessed. I remember your philosophy, that there is no glory, in loving the lovable. You were always there and will always be remembered in my heart! Rest in peace Jack, your work is done!

Thanks for sharing the picture of St Mary's of the Woods Susan R. My family attended mass in the 70s there. I remember the Chicken Dinners held out there and Father Jack wearing his sandals and enjoying the festivities. He helped to make the world is a better place ... his obit so well written. He touched many lives in a positive way. Tresa (Stone) Chastain

He was an awesome man of God. Helped me with my rent when I lived in the projects. He help me with car insurance and repairs. It was about a year later I got a full time job with benefits. My first check I went to back to the center. I paid him back. He said I didn´t have to pay back the money. I told him help someone else like he helped me. He smiled at me. I walked away. I never saw him again. I became a teacher to serve and help my community. He was a great example of how we should treat...
