Even though it´s been over 16 years since the Right Reverend Father Dunn passed away, he was a great role model to me as I attended Saint Andrew´s Episcopal Church 925 S 84th St, Omaha, NE 68114 from 1981 to 1985, I´m sorry and I apologize for not expressing my condolences to all of Father Dunn´s Parishioners Friends and Family. Father Dunn´s influence on my life has been instrumental in the spiritual growth and understanding of my Faith and trust in Yeshua (Jesus Christ) of Nazareth.

I enjoyed our visit by phone Sunday more than you will ever know. I hope it helped you as much as it helped me. Bob will be greatly missed by all of us. He was a loving teddy-bear. Love always, June...

Our family has never forgotten Father Dunn. His name comes up quite often at family gathering.
We are members of St. Andrew Church in Omaha, NE. We deeply miss his sermons, you knew when Father Dunn hugged you, it meant something, he cared. We miss his holding to traditions and someone that you always felt comfortable talking to. AND his red socks.
