I knew Mr. Gaffney since I was a kid and he was always welcoming, kind, and supportive of my ways whenever I would come over to pick Bridget, Amy, and their Grandma. Haha. Love you, Geno.

Amy,
My family is saddened by the passing of your father. Please accept our heart-felt condolences. Mr. Gaffney did a lot of wonderful things and the one that I can relate to is teaching English as a second language. All of those he has thought are now part of the this country and would forever be thankful for the great knowledge he passed on to them.

Mr. Gaffney invariably gave me an exuberant welcome at the front door, even if I'd been over (to play w/ Amy) the day before.
We should all extend such warm welcomes.
My condolences Amy/Brachios, Bridget/Burns

In 1960 you were my high school English teacher. You taught me the most about English and other things. I never did thank you, now I would like to thank you for all those things.My thoughts about you will always be good ones. You have always, to others and myself, been a excellent advisor and teacher. Thanks again.
