Mrs. Duffy: When I was the "new kid on the block" in the legal office, John always stopped what he was doing to answer one of my many questions. He truly was a kind, generous, wonderful role model. Both of you are in my thoughts. Take care. Fondly, Beth Broidy Lagana

Mr. Duffy was a kind and gentle man. He was also a strong supporter of Corpus Christi and Wehrle. I consider myself very fortunate to have known him. My prayers and thoughts are with the entire family.

Dear Duffy Family, the memories are countless, the happy times were many and the legacy and love for your family lives on. We are so grateful to have had the times we did with your Dad and Grandfather John and we are proud to say we have a couple of Cleary boys going to St. Charles to follow in his footsteps. We can see why your Father was the way he was, he had great beginnings, a great life on Earth with a loving family and surely will have a great place with our real Father in Heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
