Fr. James Bertram Reuter Jr., SJ passed away on Monday, December 31, 2012. Jesuit, playwright, educator, and media man. His love of the Philippines and Filipinos was legendary; so much so it earned him a stature and affection beyond the measure of the many awards, both national and sectoral, that he received throughout his long life. We join the Society of Jesus in the Philippines, the generations of alumni of the Ateneo de Manila University, and men and women of media, arts, and letters, who mourn the loss of this man of faith, good cheer, and eloquence. excerpt from the Statement of the Presidential Spokesperson Report here.
