The Rev. Tanya Vonnegut Beck, senior associate for cathedral ministries at Christ Church Cathedral on Monument Circle, said the bishop was extremely compassionate and always available to the priests and laity.
"He remembered your name and also something about you. I don't know how he did that. He cared about the human condition and he spoke to it. He was very supportive of women's ordination as priests," she said.

Beck also recalled "his delightful smile and sparkling eyes. When he walked into a room, he had an exciting presence. You smiled when he came in."
