My condolences to the family, I JUST found out when I mentioned his name today,,that he had passed..I have never met a more compassionate person. He delivered my children, he came to my home on a few occasions when we had issues with my children. He came to hold my hand@7am for a surgery he wasn't performing. I was so upset when he left Winnipeg, I missed him then and will miss you now. Those who knew him were truly blessed. - Posted by: Kelli Partridge (patient) on: Mar 28, 2012

We are so sad to hear of Dr. McCaffrey's passing. He was our Doctor for many years and delivered both of my children (27 and 30 years ago). He would always see both of the children immediately when they were sick, no matter how busy he was. He was such a kind and gentle person and we missed him terribly when he no longer could be our Doctor. Rest in peace and know that you were the best.... - Posted by: Diane and Glen Semaniuk (Patients) on: Jan 15, 2012

Our sincere sympathy goes out to the McCaffrey family. He brought both of our children into this world, and for that we are forever grateful. Dr. McCaffrey was more than a doctor. He followed his calling and lived to heal others. For us he defined what a physician was, and we can only hope that his legacy will live on in the people he has helped while on this earth. Rest in peace Doctor. - Posted by: Serafino Falvo & Family (Patients) on: Jan 08, 2012

Condolences to the family. Dr. McCaffrey was my doctor from 8 yrs old till I was 28. He delivered my 3 boys. He was so sincere and compassionate and always made me feel comfortable. He always made room for his patients even if he had to stay late. We were trying to locate him about a month ago so we could send him a card. I'm sorry we were too late letting him know how much we appreciated him. - Posted by: Karen Springett (Former Patient) on: Jan 04, 2012

My most sincere sympathy to Dr. McCaffrey's family. He delivered both my children and was the best family doctor we have ever had. His gentle, caring and compassionate way was sadly missed by many when he left Manitoba. The medical profession and people in general will be diminished with his passing. - Posted by: Lesley Single (former patient) on: Jan 04, 2012
