Michael F. Duffy, age 68, passed away peacefully on February 26, 2021 surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Philadelphia, PA and was a graduate of Archbishop Ryan High School and the Philadelphia Police Academy. Michael dedicated his life to serving and protecting others. His career in law enforcement spanned over 45 years. As a Homicide Detective he earned countless awards and commendations for his excellence in police work. It was important to Mike that the communities he served were safe and that people felt secure, treating everyone fairly and with respect. He retired from his law enforcement career as a Lieutenant of Homicide in Delaware County in 2017. In addition to his successful career, he pursued a lifelong dream and obtained his private pilot's license. He enjoyed several years of flying small aircraft and taking family and friends on short trips to destinations or just to see the ocean. He loved to read, spend time with family, play Pinochle at family parties, and watch John Wayne movies. His family also has wonderful memories of numerous "camping" weekends in his RV, sharing stories and s'mores by the campfire. He was extremely proud of "his girls" and his grandchildren and enjoyed watching them participate in the activities that made each of them shine. He went out of his way to provide support and encouragement to his family. Everyone who met Mike knew instantly that he was a man that you could depend on, trust, and always knew just the right words to say to ease your mind. Whether you knew him as Mike, Uncle Mike, Dad, Pop-Pop, or loving husband you knew that he would be there for you in a heartbeat. He will forever be in the hearts of all those that had the privilege of knowing him.

He was the son of the late James and Catherine (Gillooly) Duffy.

He is survived by his high school sweetheart and loving wife of 49 years Darlene (Benack) Duffy; his loving daughters Colleen (Erik) Rourke and Michele (Tim) Horger; his adoring grandchildren Thomas and Annabeth Rourke and Colin, Brenna, and Conner Horger; his admiring siblings James (Mary) Duffy, John (Jane) Duffy, Daniel (Denise) Duffy, Mary Duffy and Kevin Duffy; and many nieces, nephew, grandnieces and grandnephews.
