He will be sadly missed by his loving family, John, Fergus, Jacinta and Michael, daughter-in-law Colette, grandchildren Richie, Rebecca, Annabelle, Jake and Robyn, brother Jimmy, sisters Kathleen, Angela and Bernadette, sistersinbrothers-in-law, nephews, nieces, relations and friends. The funeral Mass was held in the Sacred Heart Church Laytown with family only; in keeping with current Government guidelines regarding public gatherings.

It was a touching, comforting and proud moment for the family. Rest in peace John Duffy.
