DUFFY, Rodney Arthur James

He was a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, as well as a friend to many. As the fourth generation on the family farm, he was proud to have expanded the land and brought new and innovative techniques to a prosperous enterprise. After many summer school sessions he achieved his teaching certification and taught at Richmond Regional High School. He is a past President of the Quebec Holstein Association and a recognized Master Breeder. As an Odd Fellow he rose to the level of Grand Master.
Dad will be dearly missed by his children: Donna (Stephen), Marina (Jack), James (Christine); his Grandchildren: Benjamin (Andrea), Adam, Elaine (Lucas) Bliss, Courtney D’Arthenay, Andrew, Allison, Shawn Duffy and Great Grandchildren: Cody and Hailey Bliss as well as many nieces and nephews. He is also survived by sisters; June (Doug) Page, Marilyn Quinn and Eleanor (Glenn) Brock. He was predeceased by his parents, brother-in-law Gary Quinn, and sister-in-law Marjory and her husband Jim Bell.
Visitation will take place on Friday, November 8th, 2019 from 11-1:00 p.m. at St. Anne’s Anglican Church, Richmond, Quebec. The service will follow immediately afterward at 1:00 p.m. A private family burial will take place at St. James Cemetery. Friends and family are invited for a light lunch at the Salle des Loisirs (formally the English School) in South Durham.
In lieu of flowers, those who wish may donate to the St. James Cemetery Foundation.
