On behalf of the priests and people of the Diocese of Camden, I would like to extend my condolences to the family of Archbishop John J. Myers and to the Archdiocese of Newark. Archbishop Myers installed me as the Bishop of Camden and I was blessed to work with him until his retirement. He will be remembered for his faithful service to the Church here in New Jersey and in Peoria, Illinois. May Almighty God look upon him with mercy and grant him the fullness of eternal life.
