Michael G. Chouffi

I know it was a long time ago, but I played golf with Mike on a regular basis. I can only hope Im in the shape he was in when we played. Always stayed in touch at the holidays. I found of his passing quite a bit after. When I didnt hear back after leaving messages. Just a great man who I miss. God bless you for your friendship.

I wish to express my sympathy to Mike's family on their loss. I was saddened to learn of his death. I met Mike in 1961. It was the first day of school at Averill Park and the first day of my teaching career. I was the new French teacher at AP. Since Mike and I and Jay Frankel, who taught Industrial Arts, all lived in Schenectady, we commuted together to school that first year. Mike was warm and friendly with a great sense of humor so we all had quite a number of laughs on our commute. ...

I had the privilege of having Mike as an English teacher both in 8th grade, and high school. His love of literature was unparallelled, and I consider him one of the finest teachers I ever had. My deepest sympathies go out to you.

I too, was a student of your father’s at Averill Park – Class of 1963. At that time, I was not what you would consider a “stellar student”. It wasn’t until I completed my military service that I got my act together academically. He was a good man and teacher. I have often thought of your Dad and remember things he taught me. He had a big influence on me. I am just sorry I never had the opportunity to let him know that. I know you will all miss him.

I was a student of your father's at Averill Park, Class of 1964. He was a wonderful teacher and I will never forget him. He was a no nonsense teacher and we all learned something from him. I learned to love reading for which I will be eternally greatful.
My sincere condolences to you, his family. He will be missed by many, many people.

I was a student of your father's at Averill Park - Class of 1964. I regret that I never took the time to let him know what a wonderful teacher he was. My career has been enhanced by the writing skills he taught and I have always been appreciative. As I am sure you know, he had a wonderful sense of humor and passion for reading and then analysing and organizing your thoughts. I am sure he will be missed on so many levels. I did want to take the opportunity to let his family know that he...

Dear Andrea,

I'm so sorry for the loss of your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Love, Aggie

I graduated from APHS in 1968 and was Key Club President, which Mr. Chouffi advised. Great man. Great teacher. Great friend. When I lived in Niskayuna, I often saw him walking his dog at Schenectady Muni. I always reminded him of the headaches I caused him in Key Club. Sorry for his passing and your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with his family today.
