We all knew him, liked him, and trusted him. He was absolutely invaluable, and we miss him dearly. It saddens me that a lot of the young guys on our department don't have any contact with the chaplains, or feel any connection with them the way many of us did with Brother John. Thanks again for everything you did for us.

Denver really misses you. You were just the best Bro and friend to us all. I am so happy that I have been able to keep in touch with you since you left. St. Louis should be really happy to have you.

Over the years the program in Denver has grown and well received by the officers and thier families. As the founder and now the manager of the Denver Police Officers Foundation, we care for the officers and thier family during the time of crisis and emergency need, the Chaplin program is invaluable. Every Law enforcement agency should have such a program.

I remember being in Vice and calling you in the middle of the night you were always available. I never have and never will forget all the good you did for the officers here in Denver. God bless you!

Danny O'Shea DPD Mon, 18 Jul 2011 17:35:46 +0000 http://www.jesuit.org/blog/?p=3249#comment-2734 I have known Brother John for over 25 years and he has ridden with me on dozens of occassions when we were fortunate enough to have him as a D.P.D. Chaplain. I am an agnosytic and for the most part a heathen sinning son of a gun. But if I were forced to choose, I would rather have the presence of God and Brother John in my car than to have my Paraordinance and my bullet proof vest. He is a kind and gentle and yet unrelenting and pwoerful man of God and he has helped to me to at the very least be a spiritual person and as a result, a far better man as well as a better Cop.

Even though you left Denver PD for St. Louis I still consider you the DPD chaplin. All those years we spent riding together in the Vice Detail, the Bears games we went to, really cemented our friendship. I miss you and wish you the best, you deserve and have earned all my respect and love, Dan BroJo,

He was and continues to be a valued friend and counselor to many officers in our department. We miss you very much, Bro John...may God continue to bless you and the St. Louis police officers you now serve.
