Belle and family sorry to hear of your loss.
Duffy was an real nice guy, always friendly and good natured, thinking of the famil and hoping time and memories will help heal your pain...RIP Duffy..
My love and Prayers are with you all.Duffy was a special man,and my best friend, Go Fly with the Angels.
RIP Duffy we will all miss you, you may be gone from us but we still love you.
Always smiled and said hello, I'll miss that natural style.
We always called him "willie" growing up- he and his family were about our closest neighbors. Haven't seen him for years but I always thought a lot of him when I was a kid. He was mature beyond his age, kind as could be, and "straightened" me out a few times with words of wisdom when I was young. God bless.
Willie,
I"ll miss talking with you on the phone, laughing about "when we were young
and foolish" and admitting not much had changed, except we got older. I don't
know why we kept putting off the "chinese dinner" for the last 3or 4 years, but I"m
really glad I got to see you.
Thank you Scott and Belle and all who were with him during the tough times.
You are gone way too soon, old friend.
