I never met Pat Duffy personally, but through his contributions to this forum feel I knew him, maybe we have met, like ships that pass in the night, as I have done the same things and been to many of the same places as him, RIP brother driver you’ll be missed by a lot of fellow drivers, deepest condolences to his family.

I didn’t know Pat personally, but felt I did through the TNUK forum, a contributor who knew his stuff, had done the job and earned respect in the haulage game. A very tragic and sad loss to us all who had come to know him, my sincere condolences to his family and friends, RIP Mr Duffy.

I was so shocked to hear the news yesterday morning about the sad loss of Pat. I had known Pat for 35+ years, from the days of drinking in the Waterloo Arms in Empress Road also through the years in transport. I know he will be greatly missed. My condolences to his wife and family at this very sad time.
Also on behalf of my brother Allan Nichols and Sparky (Chris Sparks).
R.I.P. Pat

Such awful news, I never met him in this life but send sincerest condolences to his friends and family and hope to meet up with him at that great bacon butty van in the sky…
My deepest sympathy goes out to Paddy, the rest of the Duffy family and to all Pat’s friends. Like a lot of Trucknet members I never met Pat personally but I enjoyed, admired and respected reading his posts and views.
R.I.P. ainacs.
Regards Steve.
I logged in this morning to catch up on the Southampton thread and was hit by this terrible news. R.I.P Pat, and condolences to your family. What a nice bloke, always had time to answer my stupid questions! Although I never had the privilege of meeting Pat I knew of him from when I was a truck mad kid as we would pass his yard regularly and I would try to spot how many Scanias he had in there. What a tragic loss, he will be badly missed.
what an awful tragedy . i never knew pat , but reading his posts and replies gave me an insight into his knowledge and humour . deepest condolences to his family and friends . trucknet is a poorer place without him , regards , dave .
This is a difficult post for me, Pat was a true friend and gentleman, it was only last week he was talking to me quietly excited about Paddy doing his HGV training with us, he was so proud of his children, I will miss my pal and our many chats, condolences to Sue and Paddy keep strong you know my phone numbers any time, Pat will live on for ever in all our hearts as we laugh at the times we have had the one thing we will never loose is our memories…RIP Pat Duffy

I’m not sure who pat is but I felt I should read the thread and pass on my condolences to his family, friends and all who know him for the forum. From what I have read he is an amazing man and will be truly missed.
May you rest in peace Pat.
