Wormbrand Duff and Paul A. Duff. He married Rose Marie Burns in Memphis, TN on April 7, 1951. She preceded him in death in 2015.
He served in the Navy for four years. He was a wood pattern maker for most of his life and loved doing that type of work. Paul was an expert wood carver, also, carving over 250 ducks and other birds. He was a wonderful storyteller and had a great sense of humor.
He is very lovingly remembered by his four children: Thomas Duff, Patrick (Donna) Duff, Dave (Zann) Duff, and Mary Beth Duff; daughter-in-law, Sharon Duff, in addition to many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister, Grace Meyers and sister in laws, Susanna Farnquist, and Judy Duff. He was preceded in death by his wife, his brothers, James Duff and Robert Duff, his parents and two infant sons.
Paul's family would like to thank Harbor Hospice for the wonderful care he received there.
Per his wishes, there will be a family gathering at a later date.
