I had Mr. Finnigan as my history teacher in 1969. I sat right in front of his desk. He was a wonder,kind and caring teacher. My first day in his class he noticed my last name "Clanton" and questioned me on my relationship to the Clantons of the OK Corral. I informed him I was a direct descendant, and from then on he called me Ike and I think his favorite student for the year. I always have remembered him fondly. So very sorry for your loss.

Mr. Finnegan was my history teacher at McLane in 1960. It was a treat to be in his class because he was one of those rare teachers that can bring history to life and make you care what happened and why. Sincerest condolences to his family.

I was a student of mr finnigan in 1987...u had just gotten engaged at the beginning of that school year and was getting married 2 weeks after i graduated and mr finegan having the reputation of being a very strict teacher could see i was a very serious and responsible person, so as long as i showed up ,turned in my homework and picked up my new assignment if i had a dress fitting or any other wedding errands he would let me go...we had many beautiful conversations and he always gave good advice..im proud to say that i am still happily married to the same man for the last 28 years....im so very sorry for your loss
