I first met Bob when he purchased a car from us. You may remember it, a little Jaguar convertible. We had such a good time meeting him and always enjoyed touching base when we met on the streets of Fernandina. I know he struggled with his health but he was always upbeat it was easy to forget he was sick. Rest in peace Bob. I know you're going to get some incredible camera shots of heaven.

I knew him as BD he was older than me so I called him grandpa when I called to check in on him. He was so grateful to be alive and often would share that sentiment. BD was so creative and artistic it just came out of him in bursts of energy. He loved hitting golf balls off the roof, the artificial turf on his “lawn” and I mostly remember his love of his precious dog Bella who he attributed saving his life on many occasions. When Bella passed it crushed him. His new love came to him by way of a tiny brindle dachshund Rocco! I will miss his optimism and his joy in living everyday as a gift. ❤️Rest in peace my sweet friend. You will be missed by many who knew your heart. ❤️

Robert Paul Duffy, known by many as Bud Duffy, Bob Duffy, and BD, passed away at the age of 71 on October 23, 2024 at his home in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
He was born on March 23, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York. For 35 years he was on the road for about 240 days a year as a Senior Video Supervisor at CBS Sports; covering major sporting events including the Olympics, the Super Bowl, the Masters Tournament, the PGA Tour, March Madness and US Open Tennis.
A particular highlight of his career was with “Golf on CBS,” where he spearheaded video for handheld cameras. His work helped redefine how the world watched golf, and led to his Emmy for CBS SwingVision. He won a total of five Emmy awards. He also worked as a disco DJ from ‘69 - ‘75 in New York and San Francisco, and then later with the orangutans at the San Diego Zoo.
He lived his life to the fullest and filled his days with music, antiquing and sports. His work may have been behind the scenes, but Bob Duffy will be remembered for his dedication to his craft.
He leaves behind family, friends, and loved ones. He is survived by his daughter, Taylor Alexandra Duffy.
