Michael Duffy Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Farnelli Funeral Home - Williamstown on Aug. 30, 2025.

Publish in a newspaper

Michael J. Duffy, 73, of Franklinville, NJ, passed away surrounded by his family on August 28, 2025.

Born in Camden, NJ, and raised in Gloucester City, Mike proudly carried his roots with him throughout his life. A true Gloucester City native at heart, he later settled in Franklinville, NJ, where he continued to build a life full of love, laughter, and family.

Mike had many interests and hobbies, but above all, his greatest passion was his family. He was a devoted father whose love for his kids knew no bounds. He also had a deep love for animals and found joy in the simple pleasures of life - watching WWE wrestling, horse racing, listening to music, and laughing with those around him. Goofy, funny, and full of personality, Mike could always bring a smile to your face.

Mike enjoyed watching classic TV - especially Columbo - and was a lifelong history buff. He shared countless adventures with his wife, particularly enjoying their travels to visit lighthouses up and down the coast, making lasting memories along the way. He will be deeply missed by all who had the joy of knowing him.

Beloved husband of Susan Duffy (nee Harland). Devoted father of Michelle Duffy (Daniella) and Michael Duffy (Erica). Dear brother of the late Edward Duffy (the late Elsie), Daniel Duffy (the late Helenmarie) and Eleanor Megee (the late Donald). He is also survived by loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members.

Relatives and friends are invited to his visitation on Saturday, September 6th from 11:00 AM – 12:30 PM at the Farnelli Funeral Home, 504 N. Main Street, Williamstown, where a funeral service will be held at 12:30 PM.
