We've missed you at Our Lady's Fraternity. GOD bless you my dear friend, and His PEACE be with you. R.I.P. John. Yours, forever, in Christ, Jan Anthony, OFS
I was sad to see that Jack past away. He was such a gentle soul. I was always glad to see him in my schedule. We would talk about gardening and our vegetables. I will miss him. Regards, David Springwater (his dentist)
God bless Mr. Finneran as he is now in God's Kingdom, reunited with his beloved family and friends. I was unable to attend the funeral service, but, yesterday, I did visit his final resting place at the cemetery. It was a fortunate experience for me to be able to visit Mr. Finneran at his home on Waverly Road this past year. He was a kind and patient teacher in Home Room 8 at Johnson High School. Soar with the angels, dear man.
As Franciscans we are related for the love of religion, and for our Fr. Francis. We hold the desires to love our fellow brothers in the highest loving manner. This may have been the worst day to leave our families here on earth but to your soul I am sure it was the best day for our Lord. Until we meet in heaven enjoy your private time with Jesus, for when we all get there the heavens will be crowded.
I have known Jack all of my life. I got the privilege of working with him atNorthern Essex Community College also. He was a wonderful and caring friend. He will be missed by all who knew him. I am so sorry for his loss to your family.
