[Oe List ...] [Dialogue] The completed life of Rob Duffy

[via OE]

We remember Rob the best for his amazing assistance during our time in Tonga.  He was there for the training schools, and was always interested in and helpful to us all in journeying our Tonga colleagues and ourselves in a very isolated place.  We knew we could always depend on him.  At the end of one training event, we took the ferry back to Tongatapu.  It was 12 – 15 hours on an open deck with hardly any shelter.  Rob’s back was hurting him terribly, and he sat bolt upright on a cement post for the whole trip.  I will always remember him as being a pillar of dedication and determination.  Our love to Ann and the family.  Clare & Ken Whitney

Oh my, what a man! I have such fond memories of both Rob and Ann at summer programs and Priors meetings. They were part of the remarkable spirit colleagues that came from Australia. I am so grateful to have know him and I have such gratitude for his greatness. My prayers are for Ann and all the rest of our beautiful colleagues from “down under”. Blessings to you all. The Australian Southern Cross has another star in it if you look real close. 

Grace and Peace,

Jack

  We are sad to hear this news.  Rob was such a distinguished gentleman but when we saw him with the sleeves of his dress shirt rolled up ready to get to work, we knew he was an exceptional colleague.  He and Ann were always so kind and helpful to us:  both in Chicago and when Rob was prior at the nexus in Hong Kong while we were at Nam Wai HDP.   Blessings and love to Ann and all the family.  You have always been special to us.   

  Grace and peace,
  Jack, Louise, Chris and Peter
