Dear Gaffney Family: In all my years as a physician in Fullerton, I never met a finer person than Jack. This includes his whole family. It was always pleasant to see him in the office. He was an outstanding man and filled with all the essentials of a successful human being. He will be missed. Be assured of my prayers for his assured trip to Heaven. Fondly,Dr. Matthew A. Kasprenski Sr. and wife, Rosemarie.

To The Gaffney Family


Sorry to hear of your fathers passing. I will never forget when he took my husband and me over to the First National Bank in Catty and signed a loan for us to buy me a sewing machine. He did not know us but he took a chance on us. I will never forget his kindness to us. That sewing machine made a lot of clothing for our three girls. Again, so sorry for your loss.
