Dear Duffy Family: My husband and I were very saddened to hear the sad news of Mark’s passing. Mark worked at our home several years ago and did a wonderful job making our home beautiful! He became more than a contractor – he became a friend. We are so sorry for your loss – He will be missed. God Bless – Susan and Peter

Dear Yvette and family, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son. May God give the entire family strength to deal with this loss. God Bless
Dear Duffy Family, Our whole family is sad to hear about Mark’s passing. We met Mark in 2000, referred by our realtor Anne Harrington, when he worked on our home in Vienna. We got to know him not only as a skilled and talented craftsman, but also as a good, kind person. He improved our lives not only with his renovation skills, but with his kind and often humorous interactions. We knew that he loved to fish and snorkel and he often told us about his experiences. Our children were at OLGC at the time and he shared stories of his time there with our children. He was quiet and often serious, but he had a kindness that really came through when you got to know him. Please know that your family is in our prayers during this difficult time. May the many happy memories you have of Mark help ease the pain of your loss. Suzanne and MJ Golibart and family

My love and condolences to the Duffy family, I have not lived in Vienna for years but when I would visit Mark was someone I hoped to run into. He was a special person. Good heart. Take care of each other.
Mr. & Mrs. Duffy, I was so very sorry to hear about Mark. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
To the entire family of Mark Duffy, “Duff”. I am deeply saddened and broken hearted to hear that Mark has passed away. He was a life long friend. We first met in Okinawa, when I was three years old and he was two. Little did we know our paths would cross again in our teens. We became very close friends throughout out our lives together, and I am lucky to be able to say we remained that way up until his recent death. We just spoke a month ago on the phone. I had left numerous phone calls for him over the past three weeks. Now I know why I did not receive a call back. I am devestated. I am at a loss that I could not be at his service and crushed I was unaware. We always promised one another that we would make sure that some how or another we would be notified if something happened to one of us. I will always have a piece of him in my heart with me forever and ever. I love you Mark and always will. Linda Marciniak Shores
To the Duffy Family, We were neighbors for many years in Vienna and shared a car pool “many” years ago. We are saddened to learn of Mark’s passing. Mark was also a neighbor of mine here in Fairfax City. I ran into him at a board meeting at the Condos, where he lived, a few years back. We owned rental property there. My sons, Tim and Todd kept up with him some. Hoss Sowers called Todd several days ago to tell him the sad news. My deepest sympathy to your family. Joanne Beeson-O’Donnell and family
Mr. and Mrs. Duffy, Im stunned and surprised to hear about Mark. My deepest sympathy goes out to you, John and Karen. Mark was my oldest and dearest friend who I considered a brother. I will miss him and will not forget him. His death is truly a great loss. I am so sorry.
Mr. & Mrs. Duffy, I’m deeply saddened to hear of your recent loss. Mark was a good friend in High School and for years after. He was an amazing person and a good friend to all who knew him. You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
I was sorry to hear about Mark’s untimely passing. My condolences to his family and loved ones. We were neighbors and friends years ago in Oakton.
Sorry this is so late, but I just found this while searching online for Mark’s brother or father’s phone number to ask about Mark. My deepest condolences to the Duffy family. I am extremely saddened by this as Mark was a close friend, former room mate, and work associate. Mark and I met in the summer of ’83 on a Miller & Long construction jobsite. Mark was very personable and we became fast friends. Soon after Mark and I shared a house and continued working together for years. By 1989 both Mark and I were self employed in home improvement contracting and continued to work together occasionally. A couple years later, Mark bought his condo and I helped him move it. I visited Mark at his condo hundreds of times and stayed over on visits from FL. The next year I moved to FL but our friendship continued. I got Mark interested in skiing and scuba diving and we took a dozen or so vacations together along with my Wife Dianna, and son Chris whom both cared for Mark a great deal. Mark and I used to pal around when I was single parent and was a great friend to my 2 year old son Chris, who is now 23 and out of college. Mark had a great sense of humor and was the kind of friend that you could reminisce with for hours laughing. I considered him a brother and a part of me is missing now. I would really appreciate it if John D., Mimi, or Eugene would contact me to talk about Mark, as I don’t really know any of his other friends. Warmest Regards, Dean Collins mojorules@gmail.com
