My prayers are with you. I took instructions from Fr. Coffey in 1948. He taught me about prayer and I am forever grateful for his religious and spiritual guidance in my life.

I knew Fr. Coffey from Holy Rosary (Irish). Graduated from Holy Rosary in 1955. I took a change on a car raffle and put his name on it and he won a 1955 Black Chevy. I never told anyone about this until now. I hope it served him well.
He was a great Priest a great humorist with his red hair. I will pray for him, or maybe he will remember me and say a prayer for me also. My sympathy to his family.
