Not sure what to say?

Rest In Peace, Father Madden. My wonderful beautiful loving aunt who you knew well is also laid to rest at this time. This world has really great counsel in heaven on our behalf. We sure need it these days.

I am shocked to hear this news ...We so wanted to re-visit Fr Larry who married us in Germany in 1967. He was instrumental in converting my wife to Catholicism and became a dear freind to us while we were in the service and in years afterwards. Rest in peace Larry ....hope your playing the piano for the faithful in Heaven ...Rich and Sue Palmieri

Rennie ( I still call him Rennie)and my sister Patti have known him since the 1930s beginning in Ocean City, NJ. While we have not seen one another for years we recently began conversing by e-mail. We Have such great memories of him throughout those early years in OC and have thought of him often. It was with great sorrow that we have just learned of his passing. God bless and reward him for all his wonderful years of service to so many during his priesthood. Patti and I will never forget...

Fr. Madden, Larry to many of us was a wonderful Jesuit, a caring and joyful person. Always with a huge smile and a teasing comment. I now live in PA and have missed Holy Trinity, and especially Larry Madden, S.J. There are wonderful joyful memories of sailing in Annapolis, and I am grateful to have met and and had him as a friend for many years. He contributed much as a priest and pastor at Holy Trinity and will never be forgotten for the joy he brought into my life. My condolences to...

Our family met Fr. Madden when we moved to Washington, DC just last year. He readily became a family friend who gained our trust. His presence was one of acceptance, shared humanity, and joyousness. We shared meals,shows, and long discussions. We found his masses insightful, Love-focused. We feel his passing is too soon for our liking... of course we accept, as he would, it was his time.

Fr. Madden, thank you for the memories, the loving welcome. May your blessedness in a life...

Rennie Madden was my dad's boyhood friend. They reconnected in the 1980's. He was a prince and a gentleman. He officiated my father's funeral mass. Now that are together again. Thank you for being a wonderful person Father Madden.

What a sad, sad loss. Words can't express all that Fr. Madden gave our family, and so many other members and visitors of Holy Trinity. He must have found the peace and reward ("eye cannot see") promised those who serve Him. And in the meanwhile, we can try to observe his words and example. Our deep sympathies to his family and fellow Jesuits.

God bless Fr. Larry Madden and reward him for all that he did for Holy Trinity Church and each one of us whThank you Fr. Larryo knew and loved him. Bless and console his sister and brother and their families too. He lead us to the sea and showed us that God is with us in storms and cool, sunny days, caring for us and showing us the wonders of His creation. Thank you Fr. Madden, Madeleine Kirk

On behalf of the Birmingham-Sutton Family,
