Not sure what to say?

Though I did not know Father Duggan for very long, nine years after his passing his twinkling eyes, brilliant smile, and kind demeanor vividly remains in my memory.

Very fond memories of his many visits to Ireland. A real gentle man who will live forever in our memory.

As saintly a man as ever wore the cloth. Warm, friendly, approachable, self-effacing, shy he epitomized all that can be good in a clergyman. If only there were more like him.

I knew Father Duggan at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in the 60's ... what a wonderful person!!

Father Duggan enjoying a morning at First Cafe

I met Father Duggan several years ago at First Cafe, a bakery on the corner of Geary Blvd. & 23rd Ave. in San Francisco.

Father Bud was a remarkable, down to earth, giving and heartfelt gentleman. With him goes the last of my grandmothers era and family. I will always remember my time with Uncle Bud fondly, both as a child and as a much more mature adult. His kindness and love was always appreciated. Godspeed Uncle Bud. Many prayers and much love your way. My heart will remember you always. RIP

I served Mass for him many times at St. Brigid's Church. I still have the book he signed when I entered the Christian Brothers. Rest in Peace, my friend. Live Jesus in our Hearts.....Forever.

Fr. Bud was a Saint his attention to people of all ages and his concern for them was endless. He loved Ireland and more especially his County Clare. He loved his family dearly all over the world but he loved God most of all and served him well. What a basketball player what a sportsman what a family man what a friend and neighbour what a privilege to have shook his hand to have prayed with him to have laughed with him to have shared desert with him to have spent a day at the Bog in Mount...
