Having worked with Bob over the past 3 years as a PSW for One Care, I wanted to express my sympathy to his family who are now missing a dear family member. I have never known anyone to fight so hard for his independence (sometimes to the point of stubbornness!) Up until the last few months that I looked after him, he was always upbeat and positive, even when he was struggling with health issues. It was a pleasure to get to know Bob and to help him out with practical things that make life easier. I won&&single&&t soon forget his tenacity and drive to live as good a life as he wanted to.

To the Duffy Family
All of you grew up after I left home.
I grew up next door to the Duffys and there was never a cross word spoken across the fence for generations and everybody attended SS # 6.
Another family has disappeared from Con 9.
My sympathy to all of you.
Mac.
