Paul Thomas Duffy Sr., 88 of Weirton passed peacefully on Friday, October 8, 2021, at his home surrounded by his family.
Paul was a hard-working family man with strong values and a deep love for his Irish heritage. He was born on December 9, 1932, in Weirton, WV. The son of the late Constantine Paul and Freda (Grunder) Duffy. He is preceded in death by his sister Connie Jennessee and grandson Christopher Duffy.
Paul was a proud graduate of Weir High School, attended West Virginia University, and served in the United States Army.
He worked and retired from Weirton Steel Cooperation where he served as a supervisor. He loved football and rooted for WVU, the Dallas Cowboys, Weir High School, and Madonna High School. He especially loved watching his sons, grandsons, and granddaughters play sports and never missed a sporting event where one of them were playing. He loved his family and enjoyed gathering at his home where he was always the life of the party! He stressed to all the importance of family and indulging in life's simple pleasures- after all "We only pass this way but once," he would say.
Paul was honored to be an Eagle Scout, Past State President WV Elks, Past Exalted Ruler Weirton Elks, District Deputy WV Elks, Elks Grand Lodge Chairman. Past member of the Madonna School Board and St. Paul's School Board, proud supporter of Madonna Athletics, and a member of the Knights of Columbus.
He had a strong faith and was a member of St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church where he served as an usher, member of the Holy Name, and he and his wife were selected for the St. Paul's School Family Tradition Award.
He is survived by his beloved wife of 65 years Dolores Jeannie (DiGregoria) Duffy. Three sons Paul "P.T." (Melissa) of Toronto OH, Daniel Duffy of Weirton, and Terry (Brenda) of Wellsburg. Five grandchildren Stephanie Duffy- Zimmer (Jason), Paul Duffy III (Paige), Matthew Duffy, Teirria Duffy, and Landon Duffy and three great-grandchildren Paul Duffy IV, Pate Duffy, and Lena Zimmer.
