Kevin J. Claffey

I am a distant relative through his father John's side, may he Rest In Peace.

Condolences to the family. Although I have not spoken with Kevin since I retired from law in 2005, I fondly remember Kevin. We crossed path and enjoyed seeing each other starting with the Westfield Evening News and in each of his careers thereafter.

Dear Joan, Nora and Claffey Family, I am so sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. He was such a wonderful man. He will always be remembered with such fond memories. My deepest sympathies. MaryAnn (Russell) O'Hagan

Patty Meffen and family

Jack, So sorry to hear of Kevin's passing. My condolences go out to you and Kevin's family. What a great guy! I always enjoyed bumping into and talking with him at the station or courthouse through out my career. He always had a smile and a good word. Never heard him talk bad of anyone or be upset. He'll be missed by many. May he Rest In Peace.

Our lives crossed paths for decades. First as reporters at The Daily News where we worked together for a decade. Later, as court reporters, at different times, first me then Kevin, working the courthouse beat in the day and attending Western New England Law School at night - a four-year endurance test. Finally, each of as lawyers working side by side in the Hampden County Superior Court, Kevin as a Clerk-Magistrate, me as a trial lawyer. It was joy to pause in busy courthouse corridors...

Kevin was always willing to help anyone who needed assistance, with any court matter. Kevin was a great guy and will be missed. My condolences to his family Joe Franco

My heartfelt condolences to the Claffey family. May your many years of happy family memories help sustain you and give you some peace during this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers ~ Diane. Diane Waterhouse Barbarisi

Our sympathies to the Claffey family. Didn't know Kevin that good, but meeting him a few times that we did, it was easy see that he was a great man, husband, father, and grandpa. Remember the goods times and celebrate his life.
