In Memory of Jack Stanton (102nd Infantry Division, Silver Star Recipient)

 

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jack (John J Stanton), one of our congregation and a true American hero, who left us recently at the incredible age of 103. He is survived by his wife Suphaphom and a large family both from Thailand and the US. Jack lived a life defined by courage and service. As a Silver Star recipient, he carried the stories of valor from the front lines of World War II to his New York home and finally to his quiet life in Northeast Thailand. He was a committed member of our English Mass community here in Udon Thani, travelling weekly from Nongkhai to make it to Mass, even when in a wheelchair. For the last several years, Jack’s greatest strength came from his wife, Suphaphom (Jum), who provided around-the-clock care for him with unwavering devotion. We salute you Jack and hope to see you again in a better place.

​

Thank you to those who sent flowers- Maria Huong Nguyen Thi; Teachers Ekaphon, Jima and Pen.

+++ May God reward your kindness. +++

​

Through the intercession of Our Lady of Perpetual Help.

"When they are finished, they come from two nations and become our disciples. We Baptize them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit." Mathew 28:16-20
