A Salute to you Mr. Duffy! "When are you leaving?"
We were astonished to learn just a few days ago, that Mr. Duffy had passed. Every spring and summer Mr. Duffy and his wife Mary would arrive at their son's cottage. At the moment he arrived, I welcomed him and immediately addressed him with the welcome. I'd say" glad you're here- when are you leaving?" He'd say: "I have to think about that and hold your questions until I relieve myself inside. No More questions right now!" He had a vibrant sense of humor that I will treasure forever.

Dear Mary and Duffy family. I just heard of John's passing from my daughter who stopped in to Casey's for me today. I can't tell you how sorry I was to hear about John.

Mary & Family: A gentle soul has left this planet and will be joined above by all those who went before him. You have a lot of memories to reflect on after being married 54 years. God bless and may John have a safe journey home.

Mary, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'm truly sorry to have heard the news. John was a true gentleman. A gentle soul who was a friend to all. I'm a better person foir having shared this world with you and "himself". Sorry I could not be with you yesterday, but I find myself in Fairview Hospital for the last few days. My thoughts remain. Safe home John, safe home!
