Father Cahill worked very closely with me [A.D. at Hersey H.S.] I feel very privileged to have known him, and feel he was one of the most outstanding individuals I have ever known.

To the family of Fr. Pat Cahill and the entire Viatorian Community, I offer my condolences and pray that at this time of sorrow, God watches over each of you and all of us who had the extreme pleasure of knowing such a great man, priest, educator and friend. Starting in 1963 as my religion teacher at SVHS, then as athletic director and for the next 39 years as a friend, I had the opportunity to see Pat always putting others before himself and teaching by example. Pat, you will be missed...

My sincere condolences to the family. Fr. Pat is one of those people that is remembered as "Unforgettable."
In 1954 I was a young high school sophomore at Cathedral Boys High School in Springfield, IL when "Brother" Cahill was my History teacher.
I will remember him as a warm, helpful, and caring person. He will be missed.
