What a wonderful man. Even in retirement, he offered to say my Dad's funeral mass at St Francis (they were golfing buddies). Made the mass so special. He will be in a special place in heaven. Prayers to his family. Father Speitel will be missed on earth.

For God and Country seems appropriate for Fr Speitel. What an inspiring life he led. My condolences to his loved ones.

I treasure my memories of Father Speitel at St. Frances in Ocean City. My daughter and son, in their younger days, had the privilege of serving Mass for him, especially during the week and loved doing so. With Good Friday approaching, we will remember Father Ed's sermon, the simple, Wow!
Surely, he had a speed pass to the Lord.
