Read MoreI will truly miss Father Young, whom fortunately for me was my uncle. He was indeed a caring compassionate man whom truly cared about people. Especially the people he loved.

I admired him deeply.

Fr Young was a true gift to the world. We were lucky to have been touched by him during his wonderful years of ministry as a priest.

What a human being! I worked at St. Thomas from 1982 until 1987. He was president at the time but I had known him through my sister, Patricia LeBlanc. We would go to his French masses and he would meet my family. He was such a caring human who seemed very serious but had lots of humor along with great warmth. I will always treasure knowing him. I will never forget this wonderful man. God Bless.
