Not sure what to say?

I only got to have a grandfather for a little bit but he was a great man that had a good heart. I miss him and remember him. And my mother or his daughter Emily is getting back on bikes more and enjoying the past memories. Thank you duffy.-soraya stamboulieh

Kinda knew Duffy in Rumford elementary school in Concord. He was a year ahead of me. Quite intimidating he was. Then met up again in Canterbury in the 90's. Amazed at how talented he really was when Was great to reunite and hopefully I can connect again on the highways of heaven. Rubber side down my friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Rest easy John.

I knew Duffy back in 1979-80. Loved riding on his Green Indian Scout! He was a good man. I'm sure he will be missed by many. RIP John

Riva, I'm so sorry to hear abut Duffy. My condolences go out to you and your family. I new Duffy from our younger days and had the pleasure to meet up with him again a few years ago. It was nice catching up and talking about motorcycles . He was a very caring person. I will miss not being able to see him again.

Duffy an artist to the nth degree. And he didnt keep the craft to himself. I spent many hours working on the smallest part of an Indian with him to make sure it was right. And it was only right when he said it was. An amazing talent, gone to soon. Rest In Peace Duffy. Prayers for Riva and family
