James T. Duffy, 69, a longtime Libertyville resident, passed away on January 25, 2025. Jim, a Saint Mary's University of Minnesota graduate, enjoyed a successful career in Information Technology sales. While known for his sharp intellect, Jim's true legacy lies in his warmth, humor, and generosity.

A man of exceptional character, he was always ready to lend a helping hand, embodying the true meaning of compassion.
Above all, Jim cherished his family. His love for them was unwavering and served as the foundation of his life. Beyond his professional and personal achievements, Jim was a passionate golfer.
