The “People’s Priest” of the Bronx, Rev. John Flynn, died on Monday at the age of 83.

In the NY Times obituary, Fordham professor Mark Naison said this about Flynn to reporter Winnie Hu: “Greatness takes many forms. It is not always associated with wealth and power and fame. In the Bronx, it may have reached its highest point in the person of a parish priest who walked the street with the lost boys of the community while bullets were flying. And who those boys learned to love as much as everyone else who knew him.”
