Father Richard F. Timone, S.J.

Father Richard F. Timone, S.J., a former Latin and mathematics teacher at Xavier High School in Manhattan, died March 23 at Mary Manning Walsh Home, Manhattan. He was 82.

He taught at Xavier High School, 1957-1961. He also taught at a high school in New Jersey and served as a parochial vicar there and assisted part time at a parish on Long Island.

He was in residence at Murray-Weigel Hall in the Bronx, beginning in 1990. Due to illness, in 2007 he was assigned to the Murray-Weigel infirmary.

Because of the need for specialized treatment, he later moved to the Kateri Residence in Manhattan and then in 2012 to Mary Manning Walsh Home.

A native of New York, he graduated from Manhattan College High School. He attended St. Jerome College in Waterloo, Canada, for one year before entering the Society of Jesus at St. Andrew-on-Hudson in Poughkeepsie in 1950. He made his first vows in 1952 and was ordained in 1964 at the Fordham University Church in the Bronx.

He studied philosophy at Bellarmine College in Plattsburgh and Loyola Seminary in Shrub Oak, and theology at Woodstock College in Woodstock, Md.

He is survived by his sister, Virginia Brill, and brother, Father Donald Timone, a weekend associate at St. Joseph’s parish in Middletown.

A Funeral Mass was offered March 26 at Murray-Weigel Chapel. Burial was at the Jesuit cemetery in Auriesville.
