John E. "Jack" Leary Jr.

A great friend, to many, who lived his life as an example of how Jesus Christ would want us to, joined Him in heaven, one year ago. Yes, you are missed, but you earned your reward for all the good you did, for all of us. Happy New Year! You will never be forgotten. George

I just learned of Jack's passing last night. I'm so sorry I didn't know at the time. He was a wonderful professor, mentor, and person. He was warm and funny and genuinely cared about his students. I will remember him fondly for many years.

I knew Jack as a colleague at Quinnipiac from 2001 until his retirement. I have fond memories of many conversations with him and greatly valued his experience, intelligence, and his irrepressible sense of humor. I have thought of him often since his retirement and continue to draw upon advice he shared. I am very sorry to learn of his passing.

I am so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was an incredible person. I adored and idolized him (he was my CCD teacher in 4th grade) and was so grateful for his instruction and advocacy. I'm praying for his soul's safe journey and for the healing of the many loved ones who grieve his absence. Much love to Lisa, Kathleen, Brian, Michael and all your families.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jack was one of my advisors while attending Quinnipiac College. He was a great guy and I am a better person for having crossed his path.
