Mom and I want to send our thoughts and prayers to Maryanne, Danny, Chris, Jonathan and Faye. Duffy was one of a kind as we all know. He danced to his own drummer, when he wanted and where he wanted .He lived his life to the fullest, and there are not many people who can say that. He enjoyed his time here on earth, and if there is a heaven and he is there, Heaven will never be the same. He will have everyone up and dancing and playing guitars. He and my Dad are having a grand old time right now. Rock on Duffy..don’t ever stop.
Donna & Joyce Doucette
To Faye, Danny&Chris
We just like to send our sympathy to all of you. I know we all
have our ups and downs, but also our good times and bad.
Hopefully as the years go by, you’ll remember the good times
you had with him, rather than the bad. May ” God Bless” you
all at this time. R.I.P. Duffy
To MaryAnn,

To family:
I was sorry to hear of Duffy’s passing. It is never easy to say goodbye but he is at peace now and in a better place with no more aches or pains. I always enjoyed my time with Duffy and I can just imagine what he is doing now – dancing away and whistling at all the girls.
Rest in peace.

Hello Maryanne & Duffy’s family: We were saddened to hear this news. Duffy used to love to listen and hear Gerald play bass. Gerald and he spent good times with Gerald showing him different chords etc. He loved to hear Dale Verge & Doin Country and would wave to us on stage. We know that he is no longer suffering but we will miss seeing him and speaking to him. Gerald & Vina Moses
Rose & I are sorry to hear of Duffy’s passing. He will certainly be missed by all who knew him. I knew Duffy an Paul when we were kids had good times then. I would like to contact Paul.

SORRY TO HEAR THE PASSING OF DUFFY I SEARVED HIM A LOT OF COFFEE IN MY DAY
We have known Duffy for 50+ years. One would never know what he would come up with. He was rough and tough but had a heart of gold and whatever you needed he would give. We were so glad to have been able to see him and Maryanne while in N.S. just a few weeks ago. Condolences to all the family.RIP Duffy
You sure lived life the way you wanted and that is a good thing so rest in peace Duffy.
We offer our sincere condolences to his brother Paul, his loving companion Maryanne, his family Faye, Chris, Danny and Johnathon. Within our family he was always know as “uncle Duffy” a much loved brother and uncle who will be greatly missed.
Duffy charted his own course through life. He was the only man to ever appear on my doorstep with a broken nose, a torn and bloodied dress shirt and a twinkle in his eye. His only comment, “that was a hell of a good party”. RIP Duffy
To Faye, Danny and Chris and the rest of the family

To all those who loved Duffy and were his friends
Such a sad passing for a man whom many will remember. I knew Duffy only a few short years but I could tell that he had lived a life filled with stories. The photo montage showed just that, that he was one of a kind, and I am sure that he will be missed. I know myself, I will miss you Duffy (Homer)
I went to school with Duffy and always thought of him as a friend. I haven’t seen much of him in later years, but we always shared a laugh in the P. O. or elsewhere. I enjoyed the video and could see that he lived a full life, and never forgot his friends and family. My sincere condolences to his family.
Condolences to Duffy’s family. I had the true pleasure of knowing Duffy for many years. Whenever he came home from B.C. he would stop in to visiy with my Gramps. He definitely lived his life to the fullest. I will miss you dearly Duffy. Your friend, “the Crook”.
I am sad to hear of the passing of Duffy. I met him when I was in Nova Scotia for the marriage of my Grandparents Paul and Edythe Henderson. He was a knowledgeable and very funny Man, my heart goes out to his family during this sad time.
