Jon Duffy Obituary

Jon Francis Duffy, son of Forest Lakes residents Frank and Geraldine Duffy, died of heart failure Tuesday, Jan. 26,

2010, at work in St. Paul, Minn. He was 54.

Known as “Duff," he was born to the Duffys on Sept. 11, 1955, in Chicago.

His parents said Mr. Duffy was fulfilling his life's dream as a “rail man," as he worked as a licensed engineer for

the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad closed all of its runs for several hours Saturday so everyone could attend

the memorial service.

“He had countless 'buds' who will miss his friendship, generosity of self and laughter," his parents wrote. “Our Jon

loved animals."

sister, Robin Duffy-Wirth, of Forest Lakes; brothers Brendan Duffy and Cory Duffy, both of Chicago; two nephews and a

niece; several aunts and uncles and numerous cousins.
