Elburn Joseph Duffy
It is with heavy hearts that the Duffy family announces the passing of its hero, Elburn Joseph Duffy in Cornwall on November 21, 2021 at the age of 93. Departed this world to once again be with the love of his life and soul mate, Jeannine, who predeceased him on October 1 of this year and his son Stephen in 2015. Elburn is survived by his three devoted and loving daughters, Ruth Ann (Dan), Carol (Gary) and Wanda (Mike). He is also survived by his loving five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and his only surviving sibling, his sister Donna Villeneuve. Elburn’s first love was always for his family and he provided them with everything they needed in life to make wonderful and everlasting memories.
Elburn was a proud member of the Canadian Armed Forces and served in the Korean War conflict where he saw action. He was an active member of the Royal Canadian Legion, the Korean Veterans Association and the Royal Canadian Regiment Association. These Associations and the camaraderie he experienced with its members was a very important part of his life, especially in his later years. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him. A Celebration of Life will be planned in the spring.
“When you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that you have received, only what you have given: a full heart, enriched by honest service, love, sacrifice and courage.” St. Francis of Assisi.
