God bless this wonderful man and may he enjoy eternal rest in Paradise with our Saviour Jesus Christ.

What a wonderful human being. We shall always remember him with a special place in our hearts.

I remember Bishop Begley well from the times when he was Director of Catholic Social Services on Kenilworth Avenue. We were foster parents and his love and concern for our babies was quite apparent.

Eternal rest grant unto Bishop Begley a truly great spiritual leader. You will be in my prayers. Thank you for all you did.

Bishop Begley was a good and kind priest and loved by all his parishoners. We were members of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Charlotte, NC for a number of years until our move to Columbia, SC and St. Joseph's Church in 2000.

Bishop Begley holds a special place in my heart. I was named after him and baptized by him. I served on the altar with him and received all of my other sacrements from him. He will be blessed in heaven for all the good works he performed.

Heaven's gain is our loss. He was to me a most gently friend. He was a source of real support to me in the years I was President of Sacred Heart College. May God grant him eternal rest.
