Anyone fortunate enough to have meet Fr. Claude Kean knew they were in the presence of someone extraordinary. Fr. Claude, a very kind and understanding man, was a great mentor to the young friars and students alike, accepting his first assignment as principal of Timon with great honor and pride, and just as much responsibility. Fr. Claude quickly became a fraternal figure to the young friars just out of school as he provided direction and guidance in his gentle fashion. In the 6 years Fr. Claude was Principal he had set in motion what would become known as the Timon tradition. Fr. Claude had the vision and passion to make Timon a special place.
In recognition of Fr. Claude Kean’s foresight and wisdom we are honored to name Timon’s Bequest Society in his memory. As alumni and friends of Timon we ask you to consider remembering Timon in your will and becoming a member of the Fr. Claude Kean Society. With a planned gift you will be ensuring Timon’s strength for many years into the future.
Please contact Kevin P. McLaughlin ‘79, Director, Office of Advancement at (716) 826-3610 ext. 251 or mclaughlin@bishoptimon.com to discuss ways you may assist Timon.
