  1. Lois Duffy: We never really knew Bill but my mother, Marie Geringer, had her insurance with him for years. Every year one of the Montgomerys would take her to his office, and as she would say in her German accent, “vell, I have to get my calendar and map”.She never missed a year. One very tender time I do remember, is when we lost mom and Bill Duffy took time from his very busy schedule and paid his respects to her at the funeral home. God Bless you. Tom and Midge

  2. My heart felt condolences for the loss of your Husband, Father, Grandfather, and a very special friend, of which Bill has touched the lifes of so many people. What a wonderful man! So many stories to tell of a generous and giving person. God Bless your family.

  4. Doris, was sorry to hear of Bill’s death. I doubt if you remember us, but we lived in Pueblo for 20 years and I was in Kiwanis with Bill for many years and have so many fond memories of Bill as a friend and a fellow Kiwanian. Our prayers are with you and your family.
