John Fogarty

I had him as a teaher. I thought he was great. He had a great school spirit. He attended many football games.

Mr. Fogarty. Room 323 Third floor. My first homeroom teacher. My first teacher in high school coming from Gilette Road. Obviously I did well in his class. I did like Mr. Fogarty a great deal. As I look back you could tell he loved teaching. I graduated in '69 and now am feeling like an old fart. I will be 70 in April. I look back and wonder where my life went and so quick. Rest in Peace Mr. Fogarty, I hopefully will be seeing you soon.

Sending my heartfelt sympathy. I am so sorry and very sad for you all. As I think of him I remember him always busy out in the yard, giving a smile, wave and a quick chat. He tutored me so I passed the biology regents! I’m sure he will be missed. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Michele (Mathewson) Giordano

So thankful to have had Mr. Fogarty for a teacher! He pushed us hard, challenged our adolescent ideas, and taught me to love biology. I met him again years after high school and appreciated what a kind man he was. Yes, I will remember that, "The Millies and Schlimiels always have more kids than the Pamelas and Winthrops."

Mr Fogarty,
you were the best . I had you for biology and you pushed me through all those dissections and tutored me like crazy but i was not a science major and that C- was worthy of my hard work and your compassion to make sure I passed. Rest Peacefully and healing energies to your family.
Respectfully,
Donna Setrella '68"

Mr. Fogarty was the best teacher I ever had — not just his biology lessons, but his overall passion and morality. I have never forgotten him. The world lost a wonderful man. My sincere condolences to the family.

Mrs. Fogarty, Joanne,Linda,Sharon and family,
I’m so sorry to hear of Mr. Forgarty’s passing. I think the first time I met him was when we had just moved in and I was riding my pink and white bike( my mom painted) and he said to me ‘ hello there , I have a couple of girls that would like to play with you!.
I remember the Barbie doll house mr and Mrs Fogarty made. I thought it was amazing . Stuck with me all the years. I will be praying for all of you
Sincerely and...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
So sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He was such a great neighbor and friend. Still remember him putting Christmas lights on the tree that kept getting taller and taller- that pole he used!
Thoughts and prayers to the whole family!
Dick and Kathy Hoke

It was an honor to get to know Jack through his daughter, Joanne, and her family. We always enjoyed the times together with he and Rita. He will be missed greatly.
