Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace, dear friend. I shall never forget your counsel in turbulent times.

I will miss Father Kenealy very much. Father was my spiritual director for eight years. He continualy encouraged me and guided me in my walk with the Lord.
Father taught me much about prayer and led me in the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatious. I apply all the wisdom He taught daily in my life. I thank God for the gift of Fr. Kenealy in my life.

Tom stayed with me for years after my departure from the Society of Jesus. His thoughts on the issues involved are the thoughts of a dear, generous friend and a loyal Jesuit. May he rest in peace.

Father Kenealy was a blessing in my life. He assisted me in growing closer to the Lord. I will always cherish his memory.

Will miss my friend, Tom Kenealy. He and I served 5 years together at Westlake Community Hospital in Melrose Park.
He was a caring person and did a real ministry
at Westlake as our Catholic Chaplain.

As we journeyed through the Spiritual Exercises you have touched my soul and brought me closer to Jesus. May you now live in the great glory of God!

May his memory be eternal.

The Chicago Province of the Society of Jesus remembers Thomas Kenealy with affection for his 59 years of service and is grateful to the many friends and benefactors who helped make that service possible.
