Thursday, March 28, 1963 THE McHENRY PLAINDEALEH Pagi Twenly-Ona Pistakee Highland*^ FAREWELL TO BELOVED PRIEST AT ST. JOHN'S Kay Sfcllsch ITYatt 7-8414 It is with a heacy heart that I combine my deepest sorrow, along with all t|ie Highlanders who are members of St. John's parish, on the sudden passing of uur beloved pastor, Rev. Father Joseph Blitsch. I feel as though I have lost something dearer than a pastor, his wonderful sense of humor, compassion, kindness ana goodness had touched many of our hearts. We shall be a long time recovering from the shock and I am sure his passing will leave a vacancy in our hearts that can never be filled. I am sure too, his pastorate made better Christians out of many of us. I can not find the adequate words to express our feelings and we shall miss his guidance. I can only say a fond farewell to a priest who was much mors to all of us. It \yill be a long time before we fully realize he will be with us no more. To leave this world as loved as Father Blitsch was, I am sure God in His Infinite Goodness greeted Father with these words from the Bible, "Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant." Father Blitsch left each of us a little of himself and we shall treasure his memory until we too may join him. I only hope speaking for myself that I shall always be worthy of the trust, faith and example he left to each of us. To me that is the greatest legacy I could inherit. We shall be better folks for having known him. I am sure he wiil still watch over us from above.
