Our Sympathy to Dolly Duffy

Posted on by

I’m sad to share the news that Dolly’s oldest brother, Patrick, 59, passed away this past Friday afternoon.

There are several articles online that detail Patrick’s contributions as a trial attorney and a champion of civil rights causes and the environment.

Please keep Dolly, her parents, her siblings, Patrick’s wife and their seven sons and daughter in your thoughts and prayers as they mourn his passing and celebrate his life in coming days.

The full obituary for Patrick Duffy is below.
