David Thomas Duddy

Dave was one of the funniest guy's we ever meet...Bill & Paul

Sorry to hear of David's passing. I went to school with Dave at St. Cyril's School and remember his brilliant smile.

to my family this poem has people that i have known and i hope it helps our family with the passing of Dave. I MiTo my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Kathy, David, Mr. and Mrs. Duddy and Family, May you find peace knowing that you were by Dave's side every step of the way. May you find joy in your memories. Our sincere condolences.

Dear Duddy Family, please know that you and David are in the thoughts and prayers of me and my family. I was in grade school with David, and saw him infrequently since then. However, his effervescent disposition remained, and he was delightful to know and accompany. We joked that he didn't grow much after grade school, at least not in height. His size served him well then on the football team. He was an offensive tackle, and a very good one. I hope that you will remember the good in him, and the good that he did. It's sad to see him go; however, I am proud to have called him a friend. Sincerely, and respectfully,

I was shocked to hear of Davids passing. I went to St. Cyril gradeschool with David. I will keep him and his family in my prayers.

Karen, may the love of family and friends help you through your time of grief. I'm sorry for your loss, you will be in my thoughts.
