Fr. Robert F. Drinan

We have known Bob Drinan since he and this Bob went to Georgetown Law together. He was a dear friend then and we have stayed in touch all these years. He was at our wedding and we at his ordination. He was a good debater and a great wit. He held the torch high for the ethical and upright honor of our country. WE need him right now! We will miss him greatly . Our deepest sympathy to the Drinan Family.

Fr. Drinan has been my hero for many years. I am deeply saddened that we all lose this man of courage, integrity and grace - a profound example of how life can and should be lived. I am also in awe of and deeply grateful for all he has achieved. My sympathies to Fr. Drinan's family and friends.

Thank you for being an extraordinary advocate on behalf of human rights. We are all so grateful for 50 years of friendship and love. Our deepest sympathy to Helen and family.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

I could not resist signing the guest book because we think that all the Drinans are related. My sister, Ellen Drinan, corresponded with Father Drinan and his mother many years ago, and we followed his career with pride. Our branch of the Drinans moved from Tracton Abbey, County Cork in the 1850's to Muskegon, Michigan. I attended Marquette University and my son attended Marquette Law School, so we are also attached to the Jesuits. We live in Wisconsin now. I am glad to find some other...

Father Drinan was a hero to me. It broke my heart when he was forced to leave Congress. I wish there were more brave and honest souls like him in government today.

He was a good Jesuit. He knew people. He knew himself. He was a humble man, superbly educated, gifted with that magic quality of being able to walk with kings and cardinals and sit down for a hamburger with some of his students, without changing his expression or aura or the intentness with which he listened to the person talking to him at that moment.

We have known Father Drinan for fifty five years. Fifty five years of watching the grand master handle the resolution of disputes,...

We have lost a national treasure. He was a legal and spriritual resource of inestimable value to our Boston community. My deepest sympathy to family.

This country has lost a man who stood up for his beliefs in the religious and secular worlds. We will miss you Father Congressman.
