Rev. John Welch O.Carm.

I too remember Father Jacks masses at Holy Family in Shorewood. He was a great Priest and friend and he and his jokes will be missed. REST IN GOD'S PEACE FATHER.

Father Jack did many masses over the year at Holy Family Church in Shorewood. His homilies were masterful but I'll always remember the short funny jokes he told at the end of mass. He thought they were so funny and the congregation thought about 10% were funny. He was so happy when we all laughed at his weekly joke. What a great servant and man he was. RIP Father.

Fr Jack often did mass at St Rays. I loved his friendliness and homilys. It was always a please sure to him; he would often be in the vestibule and greeted you as you came in. My condolences to his family, his Carmelite brothers and all who knew and loved Fr. Jack. He will be missed.

Well done good & faithful servant. Enter into thy rest......
