I lived with David at Matero Parish for a short time in the late 1970s. A pleasant and peaceful companion. He learnt enough Nyanja to be able to visit many of the families in the parish. On foot, always on foot. His visits were gratefully remembered by individual families and commented on for many years. Deep sympathy to all his family.
— Peter Carroll SJ

My deepest sympathy to Gerard, Eileen and all the family on David's death. We joined the Jesuits on the same day, September 6, 1958. He always edified me with his gentleness but also his tenacity in following the highest ideals of a Jesuit vocation. Gifted intellectually he placed his God-given talents at the service of ordinary people, both as a writer and as a "hands-on" visitor to their homes. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

I would like to join the Gaffney family, the Jesuits in Ireland and David's friends as we mourn the death of Father David Gaffney SJ.
I have great memories of David during his time in Zambia. He had the extraordinary gift of visiting families in their homes. Day after day in Matero Parish, Lusaka he was known to go from door to door with no agenda except to visit families. Most Parish Priests are busy about all sorts of things except house visitation. I understand David did the same in Dublin for many years.
Peace, during this very difficult time.
— Father Charles Searson SJ, Lusaka, Zambia
