Mr. Gifford was a wonderful teacher and mentor. He took his students and our artwork seriously, and was patient and kind despite our teenage hijinks. He was a bright spot in my Bay View years and I still think of him often.

He was the one man Who changed my life forever he introduced me to Art and I’ve loved it ever since I thank you from the bottom of my heart R.H.I. Mr. Gifford (aka) Mr. G Your friend Mark Williams class of “83

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Mr. Gifford. I was lucky to have him as my art teacher in the Art Satellite program back in 1991 while I was attending the Milwaukee High School of the Arts. I have been a professional fine artist for 22 years thanks to Mr Gifford's early influence and encouragement.
