Not sure what to say?

Im not sure what to say, I just found out that Fr Meehan passed away. I attended Austin Prep in Reading Ma and Fr Meehan was one of my teachers. He taught Theology among other subjects, but what he taught me about life and how to live it, is what the lesson I´ll remember him for. He was a good man, with a good heart, and he constantly displayed caring and compassion to everyone around him. RIP Fr Meehan and God speed, you remain in the hearts of everyone who was fortunate enough to know you.

To the Meehan Family, I am so sorry to hear of Fr. Thom's passing. I have known him since his days as a brother at St Laurence O'Toole and St Mary's Church In Lawrence. I was at his ordination, I had the awesome pleasure to serve on the altar with him at his very first mass as an alter boy. He was a great influence in my life, and when he came back to Austin Prep my junior and senior years, I was never so happy to reconnect with him. Before he left for Troy he was able to preside over my...

His first year teaching at Austin Prep, was my freshman year.(1982) he was a good man, tough teacher, but good, he will be missed

To the Family of Fr. Meehan. Our family was so sad when we heard of his passing. We have wonderful memories of him. Our son Ronald went to Austin Prep. and he married my Daughter and spent many Sundays with us. We met the family when one of the sisters got married. We all loved him very much. God Bless all of you, are thoughts and prayers are with you.

We extend our deepest condolences to the entire Meehan family. We always enjoyed Tommy's company and he will be missed. I am so glad his adorable dog Hershey is being loved and cared for by Kevin, Lori, Rachel and their other fur babies. God bless and take care.
Love, Carolyn and Tony Cataldi

I have such fond memories of Fr. Meehan, he was always so pleasant and fun to talk to and always had a smile. I worked at Mel's Drug World and he was a devoted and long time customer along with his mom and other family members. I really enjoyed talking to him when he came in, he always had wonderful stories to tell. I will always smile when I think of him. He will be missed by all that knew him. Sometimes he would bring in his little dog "Hershey" Oh how he loved that dog! God Bless Fr....
