Tim Duffy died on Feb. 3, 1999, in Newport News, Va.

Tim came to Princeton from Troy H.S. in Troy, Ohio. He served as an orange key guide, took his meals at Terrace Club, and roomed with John Dryfoos, Bill Marr, Bob Rock, Ted Sandquist, and George Shea. A member of Navy ROTC, Tim completed a 10-year tour in the Marine Corps, attaining the rank of capt.

Following military service, he attended William and Mary law school, receiving his LLB degree in 1972. He then took a position as park ranger with the National Park Service. He also worked briefly as a procurement analyst with the US Navy. He retired in 1997.

Tim's first marriage ended in 1973, and he remarried in 1975. A daughter of his second wife by a prior marriage, died in 1981 at the age of seven, an event that Tim described as both a tragedy and a great loss.

Tim is survived by his mother, Ruth, who said of him, "Tim was so proud of being a graduate of Princeton. He wore his class ring all the time and, of course, it was buried with him."
