The obituary notice of Father James O'BRIEN

I first met Father Jim in 2007 when he was Catholic Chaplain at the University and I was Quaker Chaplain. I shall remember him as one of the loveliest human beings I have ever known, full of kindness, gentleness and understanding. Had I heard sooner of his death, I would have attended his Funeral Mass.
Jim will have left an indelible memory of warmth and goodness with everyone whose life he touched.

I remember Father Jim well from when he was a parish priest at St Mary's and Joseph's Pocklington. He was incredibly kind and always gave thought-provoking sermons. I am deeply saddened to hear that he has passed away but trust he is now at peace. Sending my very best to his family and friends.

In my prayers dear friend and brother priest. Until we meet again
Fr Martin
