Uncle Charles, was an amazing man that I have always remembered. He made a point to always send me a birthday card when I was a child. I will always love him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Tamara Duffy

My dad was the most kind hearted man. I can not find, nor will ever have known, anybody that had ill feelings towards him. He lead his life never willingly hurting a soul. Always ready to open up what he had. If only I could live my life, to be half the man he was, I would truly be blessed. I can not believe he is gone. He will be missed beyond the explanation of mere words and leaves a void in all of our lives. "I still needed you Dad, you were not finished here..."

Cousin Charles was several years older than me, so we were not buddies growing up. But he was the first one of the Duffy cousins to attend and graduate from college, so that gave me inspiration. As an adult, I was proud to call him a friend.
