My deepest condolences to his wife betty

Chick was an amazing, caring coach for my son in HPBFA. (Telling me he was one of his best nose guards ever didn't hurt! :-) ) I just loved the way he related to those boys. We lost touch over the years-then got back in touch at the Streamwood golf course. I was blessed to see him on Sunday mornings and play in a couple of golf outings that he was in.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Graffy family.

I am deeply saddened to hear the loss of a true family man. As a lifelong friend to Mike Graffy and the entire Graffy family, I've know him as Mr. Graffy or Sir first, but upon his preference, "Chick"; but I was most comfortable and joyous calling him Coach! I was always welcome in their home without nary a knock on the door, Chick and Betty were my second set of parents a few doors down. Childhood friends kept for life are family. The memories are vivid and joyful. I hear you, I see...

A man of great dedication to youth foot ball. Values and sportsmanship taught to our 3 sons. Now our sons all grown up with kids of their own who instill the same values as Chick did. Rest In Peace.

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of this wonderful man. He was a great neighbor, father, and a stand out in the community. I am glad I got to speak to him just a few weeks ago and introduce him to my son a daughter. To he world needs more people like chick Graffy, RIP
