My condolences to Mr. Yaffe's family. I was in his Social Studies class and he taught me how to drive. I have thought of him often over the years as my children learned to drive. He will be missed.

My condolences to his family. I had Mr. Yaffe for freshman(1961) social studies and as a senior(1965) for driver's ed. It is because of his excellent method of teaching driver's ed. that I have an outstanding record today. I always remember him asking what the speed limit was right after we passed a speeding sign. My father, who worked at the Pitman post office, usually would be the one to write out the postal money orders for extra credit for all the students who had to turn in their social studies notebook. Almost 50 years ago and I still remember this man. What a tribute to a great educator.

Mr. Yaffe taught my mother, brother, sister, and I history and drivers education. I always enjoyed his classes and still in my head hear him say, "just a friendly tap of the horn" and "if you have to think about it you don't have enough time" when I'm driving almost 25 years later. Rest in peace Mr. Yaffe.

Martin's was a life well lived. He was a thoughtful and cherished neighbor and friend to me in my youth. He is someone who I can honestly say taught me many life lessons through just doing the right thing. And the tips he gave me in our driving lessons are still with me everyday.
My condolences to Beth and Michael.
