    Ron Duffy ex 3 Para

    Hi all, some very sad news, I've copied this off facebook, regarding the very sad loss of Ron Duffy ex 3 Para.

    I am the secretary for the Morecambe branch of the PRA. I had the sad news today that one of our members"Ronnie Duffy" passed away at his home this week. Ronnie served in 3 Para and was a Falklands Veteran. Ronnie had been suffering with PTSD and was well on the mend so his sudden death has been a shock to us all. If you knew Ronnie I would be grateful if you could tell me a little about his service or if you would like to attend the funeral, which will probably be in a few weeks. His sister, who found him, thinks no one will turn up at his funeral, I am going to make sure that will not happen. If your branch is near us in Morecambe I would be overwhelmed if you and a few of your mates would turn up with as many standards as we can muster. I would like show his sister what Airborne brotherhood is all about.
    Contact me either on Facebook or by email:

    Thanks

    What really sad news - I knew Ron as a really good man - the demon drink may have got a hold of him in more recent years but he gave it a run for its money! I am sure a bunch will turn up for the funeral - just not possible for me in OZ! Rest In Peace Old Friend - Save a wee dram for me in Valhalla
    I just don't understand why they won't shut the hell up while I practice my people skills....

        RIP Ron, one of the legends. Had a few memorable evenings in his company. Glad to have had the honour.

                  sad news indeed ron started depot with us in 344 plt 1969.... he did not make it and went to his secondary regt the KOSB. i honestly do not know why he did not make through with us in 344. i met him again years later in palace bks he was with the KOSB and he gave me a KOSB belt buckle... he asked me did i see the elephant on the buckle.. i said no he laughed and said it was behind the gate...... a few years back dave tindal asked me did i know him of course a real character indeed..... i was glad he made it into 3 PARA. he got beasted in depot due to his 22 tattoo on his arm. he had a very strong scottish accent a the guys in depot used to ask me what he talking about... like my accent was so refined good old days. RON DUFFY a real character indeed .... rest in peace ron i often think of you
