I remember Dr Duggan giving me injections when I was a kid and he used to say on the count of three I would get it and he always gave it on 1 and the next time I would say you said 3 and you gave it on 1 and he said not this time on 3 and sure enough it was 1 again ha--i was telling the pharmacist yesterday when I got my flu shot and it made me laugh.

Dear Mrs. Duggan, My thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time. We knew each other many years ago when you were at Catholic Charities where I adopted my son. I have ever forgotten you.

Dr. John Duggan provided critical leadership to the community of pediatricians in Worcester and to the University of Massachusetts Medical School Department of Pediatrics during its formative years. Most importantly, he served the children and families of Central Massachusetts for decades. We are forever in his debt.
