John Francis McGough

Father McGough was my principal and friend at Sacred Heart Grammar School and at Notre Dame High School. I have always remembered him as a very good and loving man. I think he loved us all and gave us all the attention we craved. I will pray for him.

Dear Mary Anne: Dorothy(my receptionist)& I were very saddened to read about John's passing. We always enjoyed his visits to the office. We wish you well at this very difficult time. Please accept our sincerest & deepest condolences & know that our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Marianne, I am a former Sandoz exec who knew John only professionally. He was a man of great character, who understood human relationships like no other person I have ever known. I am saddened to hear of his passing. Mike DuBois (St. Thomas, VI)

Maryanne:
Such greatness in one human being should be celebrated by all. Be aware that you have been blessed--and rejoice that your memories are those few can ever find--prayers and affection come your way for today and especially for your future strength and healing.

Our Dear Maryanne,

John entered my life when he became the principal of Sacred Heart School in Bridgeport, Conn. Quickly, he befriended myself and Shirlee Mahoney. Sixty-one years of his light in my life was Grace upon Grace.
Art, also, received his friendship and love.
As long as I live, my life will be touched by his love.

God bless you for loving him faithfully and doing for him what we could not do..

Love,

Sheila & Art Hansen

Dear Maryanne, Mom and I are deeply saddened to learn of John's passing. We enjoyed our visits with you very much. You two complemented each other in a such a beautiful way and brought happiness to each other. Eighty six terrific and full years; thirty four of those with you. Wow, how John was blessed.

Dear Maryanne, I was saddened to hear of John's passing. He was a man of character, wit and wisdom. You are right when you said he and Frank are now together. I share your sadness. He will be greatly missed.

Marianne, We are deeply sorry to learn of John's passing. We have so many fond memories of conversations with John and the many card games he so enjoyed in Clinton. Our sincere sympathy to you who made John's life so full and happy.
