Mrs. Duggan, Brian, Michael & Families,
Apologies for my lateness with this message. I learned of Mr. Duggan's passing today whilst communicating with my uncle, Pat.
Please accept my deepest sympathies and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
My parents, Gil and Claire, were close friends with Mr. and Mrs. Duggan and have fond memories of  the stories from those times. What a great family!!
Take care of each other and keep the Faith.
Most sincerely,
-Tony Correia


Many hours I spent with Eric at  planning meetings for the amalgamation of three parishes resulting in “one” that neither of us choose to attend.
We spent hours of scripture study on Thursday mornings at St. Agnes. Rolling our eyes at some interpretations!
Eric was very open minded and full of common sense. Filled with unitive love for all.
I am convinced he didn’t expect to reach a “higher level of Consciousness” before his darling Kay.
Condolences to all the family, especially you Brian whom George and I trusted at the time of our second wedding..

Nora and family, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your father.  I did not know your dad but after reading his obituary it was very clear to me that he is/was a remarkable human being and someone who managed to make the world a much better place.   Nora, I can see those exact characteristics in you.   While your dad is no longer with you on this Earth, what an incredible legacy he has left by instilling in his children the same qualities that made him such an extraordinary, compassionate and giving person.   You were truly blessed. 

I am writing this on behalf of my father, Allen Duggan- cousin of Eric. Though he has Alzheimer's he would like to express his condolences and has stated that Eric was a "wonderful man and spent a lot of time speaking with Pauline" (his sister).
Eric was very kind to officiate at my mother's funeral, as Deacon, a few years ago. We much appreciated this.
On behalf of the Duggan's who are children of Arnold (Eric's uncle) and Hazel, from Deal Street, we send our sincere condolences.
Ann Marie (Duggan)


Deepest sympathies to Deacon Eric’s extended family and many friends

To the Duggan Family

 Doug and I send our sincere condolences to all of you.  We spent many happy hours with your Dad, and tried to figure out many of life’s mysteries.
God bless you all, we continue to pray for you.  Kay is especially on our mind but know she is being well cared for.  

I remember first meeting Mr Duggan in 1973 when I received my nursing diploma from Halifax Infirmary. He presented it to me. Little did I know at that time how connected our families would be with Margaret and Doug getting married. I enjoyed seeing him on many family occassions. My thoughts and prayers to all of you.❤❤

Hi Peter, Sherri and family,

So sorry to hear about your Dad - from his obituary - he gave back to people with his service.  May your fond memories sustain you in your time of grief.  (Al Davis - former co-worker from Calgary)

Al

I want to express my sincere condolences to the entire Duggan family.  I have so many wonderful memories of your dad from him coming to "club" functions with Kay.  He had such a great sense of humour and was so kind and loving to everyone he met.

My sincere condolences to the Duggan family.  Deacon Eric was a “good and faithful servant” for sure. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Our deepest sympathies to the Duggan family, from the Houlihans, your cousins.

Brian, Michael and Duggan family

Sincere condolences on the passing of your father.  I remember him from the Aikens/Romans Avenue neighbourhood years.  Thinking of you all during this time.

Dear Duggan Family,
We were very sorry to hear of Deacon Eric’s passing. He was a great person who was the reason we attended OLPH church, and made it our home parish. He was wise, gentle and caring & truly “walked the walk “ in living out his call to serve, as both a Christian and an ordained Catholic Deacon. 
May you be comforted in the love and many prayers from all his many friends and associates, in the coming weeks. May God bless Kaye and all of the Duggan clan. 

Kerry and (Deacon) Dan Daley

My sincerest condolences to the Duggan family
My thoughts are with your family at this time. To Ruth, Pat and Brian I have many fond memories of your Dad. He was kind, warm and had a great sense of humour. May his light shine bright through each of you. 
Sincerely, Shawn O’Brien and family

To the entire Duggan Family:

Our heartfelt thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are extended to all of you during this sad time. Your dad was a rock. Over the years and throughout the many challenges the family faced, he was always strong and present. His deep faith and love of people carried him forward. Although he was a man of strong Christian beliefs, he had a devilish sense of humour that showed his intelligence and wit. I never had a conversation with him that did not end up with a snicker between us. I love that photo of  your dad sporting the Lou's Crew T! 

Rest in peace, Mr. Duggan.

Greg O'Brien & Family

My condolences go out  to his family and friends. Eric Duggan will be remembered for his soft and kind personality. Whenever I attended anything where Eric was ,  I was always drawn to his kindness. He will always be remembered to me for the day he performed my wedding.  A great man gone but never forgotten. ❤️

Dear Brian and Family, sending condolences and care to you all  as you say your final goodbyes and honour your father’s life.  I can see from the obituary the strength he brought to your family.  May the memories of him and the gifts he gave you for a lifetime be a comfort bin these days. 
Sincere sympathy,
Donna Clark 

So sad to read of Eric's passing. I got to know him during our visits to our family members at St. Vincent's Nursing Home. I was in often visiting my Mom & was so impressed by Eric's love & devotion to his wife, Kay.  He was a true gentleman. My sincere sympathy to the Duggan family.


Offering Kay and all the family my deepest sympathy and prayers .


Dear Kay, I would like to express my sympathies to you and your family on the death of Eric. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this time. I remember Eric fondly. I remember his smile and friendliness. He was positive and encouraging of me. May God grant him the joy of eternal life. Blessings, Fr. Brian Murphy 

Many condolences, thoughts & prayers to you on the loss of your faith filled father.  He certainly was a roll model for many.  He will protect & look after you & your mother from above.  With your thoughts, words & actions he will live on in your memories.  Take comfort in knowing that others share your loss.  Peace to all the family.

I grew up on Rowe Ave in Halifax very near the Duggan Family and both my late mother (Dorothy) and I admired Mr Duggan and  his wife for having a large family.   I was especially good friends with Brian and Michael as we played Lacrosse together on a Championship Team in 1973.

Mr Duggan was a spiritual man who loved his family.  As a mature student, he earned a Business Degree With Distinction from Dalhousie which really impressed me.   My sincere condolences  to his family, may he RIP.

It was such a shock to read of Eric’s passing today! We had so many conversations here in our apt building in passing, and the last one wasn’t so long ago. He was such a friendly, kind, positive and wonderful man. It is sad to hear of his loss.  Although I have met some of the family members, including his sister, Judy, as well as some of his son’s I’d like to pass along my sincere condolences to all of the family on the loss of a very fine man. He will be greatly missed.. Rest in the Peace Eric..

Eric welcomed my girls and I into your big, beautiful  family and was always so kind and full of love for your mom and every person in the room. It was a welcome I will always be grateful for, and a chapter in my life I still treasure.  Much love to all the wonderful Duggans. 

Dear Peter,

Your father, Eric, clearly contributed to making this world a better place, and through the ripple effect of one good deed leading to another, we have all benefited from his actions.  May he now rest...but given his character, it's more likely that he'll continue working in service of God on the other side.  My condolences to you and your entire extended family.   May you all find comfort with one another as you grieve your loss.

Sheri

Our condolences to the Duggan Family.  Cherish your memories as they will help you get through this difficult time.  

Our thoughts are prayers are with you.

Dear Brian and Beth,

I’m sorry to read about the loss of your Dad.  It is always hard to lose a loved one. I hope you find comfort in many wonderful memories. You are in my thoughts and prayers. 

Glenda 

Andy and I will always have fond memories of Eric,  we saw him on a daily basis, he would stop and chat each time he was getting ready to catch the bus to visit his wife Kay.  Fly high my friend, fly high.
Our heart is with you and your family.

Our condolences to the Duggan family. You don't have to look any further than the Duggan kids for proof of what a wonderful man Eric was. His legacy lives on.
Bill and Janice Slauenwhite

To the Duggan family, 

Renée and I always enjoyed our time spent with your father at the various family gatherings we attended.

 Our thoughts are with you all at this time.
