The passing of the late Bishop Eamonn Casey was marked by some kind and generous tributes, including this one from Des Wilson that appeared in the letters page of the Guardian, and which is worth reading in full, detailing as it does the important work Casey did, before his consecration, for the charity Shelter. Of particular note is the following:
His devotion …. was beyond doubt; as we travelled together all over the country we could not pass a church without him stopping the car and popping in to pray. But he was also fun-loving and sociable.
