Dear Duffy family. Bob was a good guy. He and I worked on opposite coasts. So when we had face to face meetings we had to travel from sea to shining sea (LAX to Dulles or vice versa). May he rest in peace. God bless you all.

I only worked with Bob directly for a short while, but our friendship continued over the years. So when we met each other in the hallways he always had a smile as we engaged in some gentle ribbing. May he Rest In Peace. Amen.
