Joe, was Father affiliated with the CMRI? I thought I read somewhere that he was an "independent" priest, but I see he was ordained by Bishop Carmona....?
Fr joined CMRI in 1970 after his military service. He was for a short while with a religious congregation at the end of Vatican Ii.
Having learned of this community adhering to the PreV2 beliefs, he moved to Idaho, became a brother, went through the cult phase, stayed with them after the ouster, and taught and aided as a brother until his ordination in April, 1991. Bp Pivarunas was consecrated later that September.
Towards the mid 90s or so, he separated and went on his own, eventually back in Ohio, his home state. He would help out with St Gertrude's in Cincinnati as asked.
He was on good terms with Bp McKenna, O.P. and other faithful clergy.
Known for his devotion to the sick, he helped out at various Mass Centers, such as the CMRI mission in the Boston area, on occasion. For decade plus he has had the Columbus Mass Center.
He will be missed.
May his soul rest in peace.
