Lawrence Kaiser

Mass celebrated this morning at Guardian Angels Church Denver for the repose of the soul of Father Lawrence Kaiser. May he rest in peace!

Father Larry married us in 1974, and I share a Godson with him. I am very sad to hear of his passing. My condolences to the Kaiser-Kalkhorst families.

Father Kaiser was a truly kind and compassionate man. He was a humble saint among us, and like so many saints among us, he flew under the radar. What a sweet and holy man. He had the gift of hospitality. He was genuinely interested in all he met. We shared several meals with him - didn't have to be fancy or expensive… Smashburger would do as well as the Fort. It just simply didn't matter! What mattered was the conversation, the human exchange between a truly curious man, and the person...

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

The memory I cherish most about this dear priest was how he loved and befriended even the most humble. And it wasn't a "show"; it was real. We used to go out to dinner with my elderly Mom and he had a way of teasing her and including her in conversation that made her feel special. She early loved him for that - as did my husband and I. What a gem of a man, and how dear he must be to our good God. I can just imagine how joyous his heavenly homecoming must have been! Pray for us, dear Fr....

Thinking of all the Kaiser family on this day.

I was a classmate of Father Kaiser at Regis, and have always admired his dedication to the people he has served as a priest. He was a wonderful priest and will be fondly remembered by the many he has served over the years. Pat Gartland

I loved the way he spoke spanish to the congregation, even though the Mass was in english, if he thought there was an important point to be made, and parishoners didn't quite understand he'd clarify for them. What a kind and gentle soul.
