In Memory of Father Frizzell
I met Father Frizzell on the day of registration when I came aboard from Taiwan to study at Seton Hall university in fall of 1978. He was there to reach out to anybody who needed help, and I felt very blessed ever since, as if that was a chance of godsend, to meet him at the moment I began my journey in this country.
I soon learned that many other foreign students had the similar experiences receiving timely help and advice from Father Frizzell. He always managed to find time assisting us whether it was to do with studying or any other aspect of life.
Through him, many of us became life long friends. Because of his teaching, we adhered to our faith, formed an extended family. He devoted his whole life with the heart of a shepherd, along with his highly acclaimed religious studies, he fulfilled his duty of mission as a priest.
We were blessed to have celebrated many holidays with him , Chinese and American; religious or secular. He embraced and respected different cultures, thereby touched more hearts through his unselfish love. In addition to all his accomplishments as a respected religious scholar, he was known to us as a loving father, and to our families’ next generation, a grandfather. Noted in the Asian tradition, the most revered member of the family.
Father Frizzell left indelible memories in our hearts. He will be greatly missed.
