THOMAS J. COFFEY

Dear Barbara,

I just learned of Tom's passing. I extend my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Although Tom and I lost touch, we shared many happy and important memories at Wagner, in the National Guard and at Fort Knox.

Dear Barbara and Family: We are saddened by the passing of Tom. We knew him as a kind and gentle man, who was a good neighbor. It was always a pleasure to speak with him, and he will be missed. Respectfully, Cliff and Nancy Gibbs

I had the privilege of having Mr. Coffee when I attended Junior H.S.49. He kept us all engaged and this developed my love of reading. My deepest sympathies to his family.

Living on his block, Mr. Coffey and his family always made my brother and me feel welcomed in their home. I have many fond memories growing up with Andrew and then having Mr. Coffey as a mentor for The College Discovery Program in HS which prepared me for college. He will always be remembered as a gentleman...

Wanted to express my condolences. My family lived on the same block from 1970-77, and we were good friends with his son Andrew, until we moved. Some years later, as a student in Port Richmond, I remember being honored that Mr Coffey recognized my Brother and me. I was very fortunate to have him as a teacher my senior year. RIP!
