JOHN "JACK" DUFFIN 

May 21, 1939 - Dec. 16, 2010
SOUTH BEND - John "Jack" Duffin, 71, passed away peacefully in Regency Place where he had lived since May 2009. Jack suffered complications after eight years of heart and lung diseases. Jack was born in South Bend on May 21, 1939, the son of Archie and Ella Duffin who both preceded him in death, 1975 and 1976. Also preceding him in death was his first wife Hazel (Brunson) Duffin. Remembering fondly is his second, former wife, Katha residing in Idaho. Also, he has a soft spot in his heart for Katha's daughters, Jameelee and Shanda. Jack also always talked about the good times with Mariann and Tim, his longtime friends.

He is survived by a sister, Jill (Walt) Cole and a nephew, Dan Cole of South Bend. Also surviving are cousins, Bev (Jim) Barcome of Mishawaka. Also, cousins, Jim and Jean Berry of LaGrange, IL. Several cousins survive in the States and also in Ontario, Canada.

Jack graduated from Washington High School in 1958.

He retired from AM General after thirty years of employment. A special thanks to the great care from Memorial Hospital of South Bend, Rivercrest Hospital of Mishawaka, and the Regency Place of South Bend where he lived for the past year and a half. Also thanks to the tender care from Southern Care Hospice of Mishawaka. We also appreciate the guardianship of Walker Resources of Goshen. We could have never taken care of Jack without this fantastic group of various services.

Elkhart Cremation Services handled the cremation. In honor of Jack's request, there will be no funeral. He always wanted people to respect his "ULTIMATE" privacy. In a private conversation many years ago he did say that he thought he was an okay man and would like to be remembered as "a really nice guy".
