I want to express my deepest sympathy to Loretta, Dalynn, Ryan and the entire Duffy family. Michael was so full of life, always joking around and busting our chops. I will miss cheering with him during Notre Dame games, shooting pool with him at parties, and mostly I'll miss the way he made me laugh. So many great memories from when Mike, Frank and Danny lived at the Malvern Inn. Poor Mike had second thoughts after agreeing to coach us girls in softball, we acted like the Bad News Bears on steroids. We definitely gave him plenty of gray hair that season, love ya Mike! Thanks for all the fun times you shared with us over the years, you will not be forgotten.
