Cardinal’s reflections
Cardinal John Dew

Bishop Bob Leamy SM died yesterday in Auckland, aged 87. He spent most of his life as a priest in the Pacific, where he served in Samoa and Fiji and later in the Cook Islands as Bishop of Rarotonga. When he returned to New Zealand in 1997 he assisted Bishop Pat Dunn in Auckland until his retirement in 2009. Bishop Bob called his autobiography “Truly Blessed” and that was how he saw his life, and it was the source of his optimism and hope. He grew up in Wellington and he and his family will be well known to many people in the Archdiocese. May he rest in peace.
