i was his student in 2018! lol i went to his funeral too, and even though it had been years, i still think about him to this day. i wish i could express my gratitude more directly because the impact he had on me as a teacher was so great. to this day even, he genuinely was one of the best teachers i had.
i was watching some youtube videos about teachers today and it really made me think if Mr. Farley. i just wish my appreciation could reach him or reach his family. he was such a wonderful person in the few months i had him as a mentor. he did more for me than so many others did and ever could; its just amazing what a good and honest teacher did for me. i just really hope his family knows just how many hearts and minds he touched as a teacher, and i'm sure as a husband, father, and everything else. truly the best teacher i've ever had, to the day.

In loving memory of a wonderful person, teacher, and water polo coach. Mr. Farley was one of the best teachers I've ever had and instilled a love of learning in me during my freshman year of high school. I always enjoyed hearing his stories in class and I hope he knows how much he touched the lives of many within the Bakersfield community. I often think about how I would love to tell him and other teachers that have passed about where I ended up in life and how they inspired me through my schooling journey.
Mr. Farley, you were a major blessing in my life and I hope I can provide the same inspiration to students one day.
Rest Easy.

Mr. Farley,
You shall never be forgotten, the mention of your passing yesterday took me by surprise. Although it's been over a year, I shall never forget the Christmas seasons, you would walk into my classroom with a beautiful poinsettia, as a token of your appreciation. I am proud to have known the wonderful gentleman you were, and that God allowed you and your beautiful family to cross my path. May you be surrounded by Heaven's angel's of Love and Divinity forever more ...

My heart hurts so much to see this. I met Sean at Old River when I was with the parent club. I later found out he and my dad had worked together at St. Francis. Sean was always fun to talk with and such a good man. I'm so sorry Ginny for your loss. Heaven definitely welcomed another angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Mr. Farley was my sons sixth grade teacher at Old River Elementary. Joseph loved him and learned so much from him. I remember dropping Joseph off at school and seeing Mr. Farley in his Notre Dame jacket. He meant a lot to my son and to our family. God Bless you Mr. Farley and your lovely family.

Mr. Farley, you were my Algebra II teacher in high school. I remember how you always kept the classroom at a nonnegotiable 66 degrees and your excitement in sharing with us your water polo stories. You were always patient with me whenever I didn't understand something. And I really appreciate all your effort, time, and help towards my education. I know others are fond of you just as much as I am. Once a ram, always a ram. Rest in peace.

A kind and compassionate physics teacher that my daughter was blessed with at Garces. He was one of the few teachers who truely believed in her. She struggled alot and we later learned she had a learning disability. He would help the kids after school who needed it ensuring they understood the material. He had a good approach with the kids and was accessible for the parents. Had it not been for his support she said she would have never passed or understood physics. Rest In Peace. Prayers for the family.
