Condolence: Father Lodge married Ron & I 25 years ago this December 2nd at St. Rose of Lima. We will always remember his happy smile & cheerful words. We had so hoped he would be with us to renew our vows this year. We will cherish our last visit with him a few years back at Transfiguration. When he saw us he smiled & said " When I marry them they stay married!! He will remain a special part of our most happiest memories. Our deepest sympathy to all who knew & loved him. Father Lodge may you rest in Gods' Perfect Peace. Our love, Ron & Kim

Condolence: Dear Sister Helen,
Please accept my sincere and fraternal sorrow at the death of your brother, my Ordination classmate. Our Faith consoles us so that human sorrow cannot completely overcome us. Jesus the Great High Priest has greeted your brother in the Joy of his resurrection which His faithful priest Richard will share for all eternity. I do not have to tell you how much to tell you how much your brother was respected and loved by all whom he served as well as by we his confreres; that you know well by now. I never met anyone that did not have the greatest praise for him when his name was mentioned.
Be assured of my continued prayers for you at this time. He will always be in mine. I most apologize for not being able to attend his funeral. I am leaving for Florida for five days on October 10th.
Fraternally,
Fred Link

Condolence: He was a great man,I'll miss him very much.It's hard too believe he's gone.He was my priest @ SJOA,he married my sister in the 90's then went on to be the Pastor @ Transfiquration Church.I went there on Sunday mornings @ 8:30 Mass just to see,hear him.He always wore his sandals like Jesus did,always said his Homily where we got our communion,not at the lector stand where most Priest said their sermons.I loved everything about him,he was everything a Priest should be & more.GOD BLESS YOU & R.I.P.Father Lodge.
