Expressing our sympathies.
We remember Fr. Tom & Fr. Jack's ordination photo sitting on my grandmothers buffet in her dining room. We all shared proudly having a priest in the family.

Father Powers was a great man... I remember him very well when I was a kid at St. Cyprian. He had a great sense of humor, was always friendly, and was very good to our family. My family and I send our deepest condolences to his family. He will be missed. May he rest in peace.

I remember Father Powers from my grade school days at St. Henry's, and I recall him as a lively young priest who always had a twinkle in his eye, even when he meted out punishment to certain miscreants - ahem! God rest your soul Father Tom (though I wouldn't have dared call him that then).

May Fr. Powers rest in Our Lord's peaceful arms forever. He was one of the first priests with whom I served Mass as an altar boy. He was a very holy man and positive Catholic role model, in my eyes for sure.

Father Powers was my "uncle" from kindergarten at St. Henry's til the present. He was always there with his kindness and wit. He was the only one who ever called me "Maggie" He will be forever in my prayers.

I have only good memories of Fr. Powers. He was a family friend for a very long time. Even after he left Our Lady of Mercy Parish our family stayed in touch with him. When my sister was sick all I had to do was call and he was there to see her. My sympathy to his family but he is now in a better place.
