sincere condolences
“John and Duff family:
I am saddened to learn of the passing of Jimmy. I recall you both from my teen years, never recall seeing one twin without the other. I have not seen you or jimmy in more than 40 + years but from what I have been reading on here, Jimmy was quite well known and liked. I have been following some of the Duff family queries on the Pictou county Message Board. In fact I mentioned your family in Stellarton, and one lady said she was a cousin. I believe her name was Thelma MacClanahan. I posted a link to Jim's obituary in to-day's paper. John my thoughts and prayers are with you on this sad occasion. You share many fond memories with your twin brother, I trust they will help you as you struggle with his passing.” -
“My deepest sympathy to Jimmie's family. He brought so many smiles and laughter to mom went visited the Glen Haven Manor. My sister loved him dearly, he made her smile and laugh when she too went home. He will be missed by so many and to so many he was truly and inspiration. God Bless.
