Dear Duffy Family,
I knew Mike for many years on the CPD when he was in the 002nd District and then the 009th District. Joe Murphy and I worked in some of the same units for many years of our respective careers. When I was in Northwestern Hospital for cancer surgey in 2006, Mike visited me with Joe and the gang. Mike was a great guy and a terrific mentor. My life is so much richer for having known him. God bless you all.
