We are deeply sorry for your family’s loss. Mr. Duffy was the neighbor that most people would dream of. We truly enjoyed our conversations with him over the past 4 years – learning about the history of our neighborhood, predicting how the Sox and Pats would fare each year, and gushing to him about how much we envied his perfect lawn! He will forever be missed.

Ray, Steven and Maureen,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. Your dad was my Santa. The essence of goodness coming from that Santa suit made a child believe. Your father was a positive influence on all the Carroll children. Thank you for sharing.

Deepest condolences from the Ferraresi's in Florida. Whenever I heard a good joke, Uncle Duff was the first person I called. He was the greatest, and my best audience.
