Read MoreAgain my condolences to the Duffy family. I hope the nice memories everyone has posted are some comfort to you. I remember George well---it was always the full name, George Patrick Duffy. Another saying of his was "It's in the well!" when a player would make a free throw in Basketball. I crossed paths with him frequently when I worked for the Journal.

My condolences to the Duffy family. We crossed paths when I covered high school sports for the Journal and also the re-incarnation of the Steamroller in the early '60's. I remember him as a bundle of energy and for always saying he lived off the interest on what he owed. I always liked that expression. My condolences to the Duffy family.
