Reverend John F. Samson

I met Father John when I was in Ashley taking care of my mother,Helen Humenanski. He came down to see her and administer the sacraments to her and sat for a while having a chat with us. She just died in Jan. so he officiated at her mass of burial. He was very nice to all of us then.I'm glad we met him before he went to his final resting place.I'm sure my mother was right inside the Pearly Gates to greet him.May he rest in peace.

John was a simple man from another time. He had the gift of faith and the gift of obedience, both coming from God. Good men are hard to find
these days.Father John was a good man - Rest In Peace, John. I'm including you in a mass at St. Patrick's, just in time for the parade. See you in Heaven - Your old St.Nick's '53 classmate - "Itch"

I met Father Samson approx. 10 years ago thru my wife. He was a great gentleman, and a great friend. He was also a great person to my children. He will be missed by all that knew him.

Father John was a good friend, a devoted priest, and a gentleman at all times. At our annual priests' retreat, Father John and I talked fishing. I will miss his calming presence. May God reward him for his many years of priestly service.
