Friends, classmates, family say farewell at funeral for Locatelli, former Santa Clara University president

San Jose, Calif., Mercury News

July 17, 2010


As the sun began to set over Santa Clara University on Friday evening, the historic bell atop Mission Santa Clara rang again and again - a solemn tribute to the Rev. Paul Locatelli, a beloved chancellor and former president. Then, in a stunning sight, a procession of Jesuit priests in white clerical robes filed past the church, carrying candlelit torches and the simple oak casket of a man considered a mentor, colleague and friend to many.
