Not sure what to say?

As his birthday approaches, and the anniversary of his passing, I am still thinking about dear Eoin, with so much love. I miss him greatly. What a wonderful person he was, such a pleasure to have the chance to share dinner, conversations, even his emails were a joy. You are still very much in my heart, and very missed.

Rest In Peace, dear Fr. Wrynn. You were a dear friend to the Meola family Cam, Lisa and Mark. We shared many dinners at the Casa Dante restaurant in Jersey City, in Boston, and Philadelphia. You baptized our children. Your gentle spirit will be missed. Your light will always shine in our hearts.

Rest in Peace Fr. Wrynn, you made a lasting impression on this former student.

My cousin and brother priest, John Wrynn, became a treasured part of parish life in far away Fresno, California. He came out to fill in for me during summer vacations while I was pastor at St. Helen's church,Fresno.

Rest in peace, John.

Very sad news to hear that Ft Wyrnn has passed! We worked together for several decades at St Peter's University. I will offer a prayer for him at Mass! May he Rest In Peace!

No other teacher has had such an impact on my life. It went so far beyond the classroom and books, to say he changed my life is not to even scratch the surface. He was funny, kind, interesting, amazingly intelligent. I will cherish our talks and especially, our laughs. He will stay with me forever. My condolences to his sister and family. What a fine man, truly a gentleman. I will miss him for the rest of my life. Rest in Peace, dear friend. I miss you.
