I was fortunate to have many great teachers at Notre Dame. None were more influential than John Cain. He was unmatched in his ability to foster critical thought, and he was incomparably effective at instilling humanitarian values. In a world full of distractions and deceptions, John had a knack for focusing his students' attention on matters of true significance.
I'm so grateful to have studied under John. My condolences to his family. I doubt I am the only former student of his that's still learning from him.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Cain. Mr. Cain taught and coached me almost 30 years ago at ND. He was my homeroom and Civics teacher my senior year. Mr. Cain always made me feel special and I always appreciated how he approached teaching. Unlike many who taught from the blackboard Mr. Cain would pull up a chair with his students and just open up a discussion on whatever was the current event of the day. His causal and unassuming approach encouraged you to stretch your thinking and open your mind to other perspectives and he made you feel confident to do so. I liken much of my interest in politics and my willingness to listen to the opinions of others to him. I remember seeing him many years later out at Hogan’s on one of my rare trips back to Elmira and picking up where we left off my senior year discussing this world we live in. Mr. Cain had a great sense of humor. My condolences to Willie, Andy, and the rest of the family. Take solace in knowing he affected so many….may God bless you all

My husband, John Hamula absolutely loved Mr. Cain. He always fondly remembered walking with Mr. Cain and Katie in her stroller and the chats they had. He also used to share how he hung out the fire window at St. Patrick’s junior high to beg for snow so Mr. Cain could have a day off. John thought the world of you too Marilyn. Many words come to mind to describe John Cain, unforgettable seems to sum him up best. Sending sincere condolences to you and your family.

Johnny Cain was the "Best of the Best". He gave his Best to his family, his friends, his students at Notre Dame High School, and to his faith in God. He grew up on N. Main St., surrounded by St. Patrick's Church, Rectory & School, and by Arnot Park. He never ever forgot his roots as the son of J. Malachi & Catharine Cain, as he was the youngest of their four children. He had the Irish Wit and was always full of just having fun with all he met. He was my neighbor and friend, and I will always have fond memories of Johnny Cain.
God Bless his Family & Heaven will have its hands full with Johnny Cain!
