Not sure what to say?

Professor Duddy was inspirational to me. He was the one that educated me about organ donation because of his son. I passed that along to my children. I think about him from time to time . He was so real and I´m thankful I met him.

I was so saddened to see of Professor Duddys passing. I took 3 classes of Bio as a Business Major between 88-90 because I so enjoyed Prof. Duddy. He didnt know me well. But he had a huge impact on me. I often tell my son, I learned more about myself and life from a Professor Duddy, getting a C, than any A I ever got from someone else And thats the truth. Rest well sir. You touched so many people.

Dear Cindy, Robert, and Maureen,
I was so very sorry to read of Pat's death. Even though I've only seen him one time, at Mrs. Muhlenberg's funeral, He was one of my best friends from fourth grade to our graduation from Sacred Heart School.This little girl from Tennessee was a real outsider at first, and Pat was one of the kids that made me feel welcome.His cousin Mike turned out to be one of my brother Jack's best friends. Now they're all in Heaven, looking out for all of us. Know I...

This is very sad news. First, to his family and friends, I am very sorry for your loss.

I was not a bio major, but took a winter course with Prof Duddy in 1996. He started the class by sharing a story about the impact a Priest at Notre Dame had on his own thinking. If I remember correctly, it was a philosophy class and the Priest forced his students to think deeply about the existence of God. From that moment on, I was hooked on the class and my entire academic career, and life,...

Dear Mrs. Duddy, Robert & Maureen,

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. The news brought tears to my eyes followed by a flood of wonderful memories of an amazing man.
He truly helped to form the person I am today and remains to be one of the only people who could ever make me blush and / or speechless.
His memory will always have a very special place in my heart.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences and please do reach out if there is anything I can do to offer...

My condolences to the Duddy family. I spent many happy hours at their house as a teenager.

Glynnis Procter called me this evening to let me know. Glynnis lives in Emmaus. Glynnis, Pat, Sally Law and others of us grew up together on a long ago Grand Boulevard. We shared friendships, discussions, and hopes and dreams. I well remember when Pat went off to Notre Dame and his letters home. I was very sorry to hear this news and my condolences for all his family. He was always a good guy.

To Patrick's sisters and his family, I have fond memories of Pat and the Grand Blvd. Gang from the 1950's. So sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful person.

Professor Duddy was a wise and gentle man. I, for one, am a better man for having the privilege of picking from the fruit of his wisdom. He made Kutztown University a better place to study life, as he did for the world at large. God speed.
