I am so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one please accept my condolences at this time." 2nd Corinthians 1:3"

I met Jack when he was on the Staff at Mundelein. Great guy. Warm, caring, and perceptive. I remember great conversations/arguments about whether or not the Catholic Church really offered anything (to a young man), in light of its (then) new rulings on birth control, its position on celibacy, and its autocratic ways. He always gave me something to think about, and was a great listener. I appreciated his guidance, as it helped me move forward into a new life.

My condolences to Jack's family. May he rest in peace.

I remember John well from the 1960's and he was always an honest, intelligent presence on the scene. I'm sorry for the terrible empty spot in your family now, and I'll pray for you today as you begin the long time of grief and healing. May he know God's peace.
