It is with a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat that I write to express my deepest sympathies to the Godfrey family this morning. "Coach" was always so kind to me, as were the rest of you. I pray for all of you this morning that God would ease the burden of this sad day, and call to mind your best memories.

With love,

John Martorana

There is only one COACH! There's not enough room I can write here for all the wonderful and loving memories he has provided me and us all. Our heartfelt sympathies to 'Mrs. Coach', Dave, Craig and family.
"Man of the hour is taking his final bow,,
As the curtain comes down,,
I feel that this is just goodbye for now.."
RIP Coach. We love you. Now set up the poker table, fellas, there's another game to be played. Deal him those queens. Love Scott and Sarah Medaska

Our Hendel Avenue group hold many fond memories of Ron. We had a lot of fun growing up together. Playing the old street games, enjoying the fun times around the firehouse and watching him march in the parades. Now Ron has joined our other Hendel Avenue friend Jimmy Ronan. Ron was well liked and he will be well remembered. Our thoughts are with Nancy, their sons and his sister Marilyn.

Ron - "Coach" as we called him, I will miss our long poker games and your catch phrases during hands "I'm looking" and "We love our Queen"

RIP to good man, father and friend.
