The Rev. Thomas J. Bain, former principal of Walsh Jesuit High School in Cuyahoga Falls and at St. Ignatius High School in Cleveland, died Wednesday at age 83.
Father Bain had two stints at Walsh. He was principal and vice rector at the Catholic high school from 1966 to 1970, then served as principal of a high school in Detroit before returning to Walsh in 1974, where he was principal until 1978.
Over the ensuing years, Father Bain was assigned to various posts in the Toledo area and in Michigan.
He returned to St. Ignatius, where he had been principal from 1961 to 1965, to be the chaplain of alumni and development in 1993. He became a counselor at the school in 1995 and remained in that post until his retirement in 2003.
Born Dec. 8, 1925, in Grand Rapids, Mich., Father Bain entered the Jesuit order in 1943 and was ordained in 1956.
