Shirley and to your family. I was deeply saddened by the news of Duff's passing. I have known of Duff since his time in Prince Albert and I was fortunate to get to know him during my years at the University of Saskatchewan. My association and interactions with Duff are memorable and it was always a pleasure. He was indeed a very caring and a "gentle" man. My thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with you and your family during these difficult times.

To the Entire Spafford Family,
I am so saddened to hear of Mr. Spafford's passing. I recall him as such a kind, funny and interesting man. His knowledge and interest on such a vast array of subjects was amazing but as was his generosity and wit.
What a great man.
My deepest condolences.

Dear Peter & family,
I didn't have the pleasure of meeting your dad but he must have been a wonderful man. At the end of the day, all we have left is memories. May the warm memories of your father carry you through this difficult time.

Duff was equally a son of Saskatchewan and a scholar of global standing. Memories of exchanging ideas with him are acute and fond, and all the more painful for that. Our condolences to Shirley and to all who were close to him.

My sincerest condolences to the whole family. I spent so many wonderful times with your family years ago. Thinking of you all. Diane Hartnett (Lloyd)

My dad, who was born and raised on a farm just outside Weyburn, always spoke so fondly of his teacher, Mrs. Spafford. I believe this was Duff's mother? Anyway, he thought so highly of the entire Spafford family. Sending heartfelt sympathy and condolences.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I fondly remember Duff's affectionate and knowing eulogy at Dad's memorial service at Convocation Hall, and my chat with him at the gathering at home afterwards. He was one of the good guys.

Working with Duff at the University of Saskatchewan Special Collections and Archives was a real privilege. I'm so sorry he's gone.

Condolences to the family. Duff was a fine man and a good friend to my father.

It was not our privilege to know Professor Spafford. We are grateful to his son, Peter, for his care and kindness to our family. We offer our most sincere condolences to the Professor's wife and family. His goodness lives on. Respectfully,

Dear Shirley and family, Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Duff was such a special person. He was a gentleman with a wonderful sense of humour. I so enjoyed the time spent with him volunteering at the Saskatoon Symphony's Book and Music sale. He will be missed in so many ways by so many people. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mrs. Spafford & Family,

My deepest condolences go out to You and your Family. My thoughts are with you.

Sincerely,

Shirley & Family, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Duff's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.The pleasant memories of the coaching years spent with Duff remain forever.

Hello Spaffords, so sorry to hear of your loss. I always thought of Mr. Spafford as a scholar and a gentleman, kindly, cheerful, and good-humoured. My father spoke very highly of him, as a neighbour and professional colleague. My condolences.

Although I first knew Professor Spafford through my parents, I had the pleasure of working with him on the Sheaf centennial organizing committee, where his energy and enthusiasm inspired us all. A great loss.

My condolences to Shirley and the children.
