________________________________
Juniper was born into an Italian immigrant family in Vineland, New Jersey. When he was 17 years old, he entered the Franciscan Order and was trained as a tailor. He made habits for the friars of Holy Name Province for more than 56 years. In his last years he made rosaries for patients in military hospitals near Washington, D.C.
More importantly, Juniper helped form hundreds of young men who came to the Franciscan Order to become brothers or priests. Although he had a famous sense of humor, he was also the confidant to whom countless friars brought their woes. He was a man of deep prayer who spent hours alone at his work, and later, at the end of his life, simply sitting in his old car in the friary parking lot, smoking his pipe and reciting the rosary. For many years he suffered from ill health. He died peacefully, from cancer, on November 3, 2012.
