Mr. Duffy,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

To the Duffy Family:

Although I did not have the opportunity to meet Neil, I heard many a nice word of him by my uncles Denny & Johnny Devlin of Tullagh. I did on one occasion have the pleasure of chatting with Neil over the telphone to speak of my trip back "home" to Tullagh and fill him on in the "boys".

God Bless Neil and God Bless the Duffy family during these difficult days.
