JOHN ARTHUR GARIEPY, MD John Arthur Gariepy (Jack), 90, passed away on November 28, following a brief illness.
1950s
50 Forever Grateful
In February, I received a letter from James E. Truschel, who will celebrate his 92nd birthday in July. James wrote that he did not have money for college but a friend from school, who knew of his love for ND, described the situation to her father.
This man wrote a letter that ultimately led to James receiving an academic and golf scholarship. What a blessing that turned out to be.
John A. Gariepy, 90, passed away Nov. 28 in Wilmington NC. Jack was a WWII veteran and a graduate of Yale Medical School.“One of the many things life that ND taught me was the beauty and wonder of frequent Holy Communion. I’m not sure about school rules today, but in my time, mandatory weekday Mass checks were in effect. As a result, I got into the practice of attending Mass.
After graduation and entering the business world and raising nine children, I couldn’t continue. Now that I’m retired and the children are raised, Mass and Holy Communion are normal parts of my day. Thank God for ND’s motto to not only teach how to make a living but how to live!” John A.
