Mike was my oldest brother and, unfortunately, I was just informed of his passing yesterday.  He was a wonderful big brother and man.  He moved away when he joined the army at 17 so my memories of him are pretty limited to our childhoods together.  While he was a master at terrorizing his pesky little sister he was also always there to watch over and protect me -- although I hated him when he tore the heads off of my dolls!!!  I'm so sad to know that he is gone from us, without my having had a chance to tell him one more time that I love him or to say goodbye, but it is so very comforting to know that he is now reunited with his wonderful and loving son David who was the absolute pride and joy of his life.  Rest in peace big brother and give mom, dad and Billy (and Aunts Edna and Carol) great big hugs for me!!!

I never had the privilege of meeting Michael, but as brothers in the code, I offer my prayers to his family members. RIP Michael.

R.I.P. my Friend. I had the honor & pleasure of calling Mike a good friend & a fellow soldier. We met in 1977 at Ft. Meade, MD & were stationed together at Ft. Devens, MA. We had the chance to rekindle our friendship at several Duffy reunions. You will be missed. 

I served with Mike more than once in more than one country.  So sorry to hear he is gone now.  He will live on in so many memories. 

Vari & I are very sad to hear of Mikes passing.  I enjoyed immensely my time serving with him over the years in the ASA.  My condolences to his family - Rest easy Duffy - God's speed.

Never met nor served with him as far as I can remember but Duffy's are falling fast. RIP. Prayers to the family 

Knew Mike at a few assignments and he was one of my instructors good guy and yes his trade mark beer in one hand cig in the other and that raspy laugh when you got him going.  Rest In Peace Duffy.

I was lucky to have served a couple of assignments with Mike and way more than a couple of beers. I am truly sad at his passing. There are fewer and fewer of us left. Sally and I send our deepest condolences to his family.

Mike was definitely one of, “The Good Guys.”

Robin and I are saddened to hear of Mike’s passing.  Much too young.  Mike had a separate relationship with the both of us.  From Chang Mai, Thailand to Ft Devens, MA and for a span of 20 years, he was a good friend and mentor.  We will miss him deeply.  Glad that he is finally reunited with his son.  Much love, Mike.  Peace.

Mike was not only a super Soldier he also was a great friend. Mike and I served together here in Hawaii.  He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Blessings to Mikes family. 

I am so sorry to hear about Mike.  Met him in 1977 my first tour to FSK then room mates for a while at Devens.  Cannot believe he has gone but BROTHER, RIP.

So sad to hear the news of Mike’s passing. 
He was my instructor in the Army and later I was fortunate enough to call him my friend. 
My sincerest condolences to the family. 

Mike and I were good friends for a long time.  We served in the same speciality in the Army, and were stationed together several times.  

He was one of a band of brothers and will be missed

RIP, Mike
