IMMORTAL MICHAEL DUFFY

[Winter]

Two years since the Stella Man passed. I sat up last night and read all 91 pages of this thread. It had me all choked up again but also put a smile on my face. The outpouring of love, for a man most of us have never met, was incredible.
Michael would love Angeball and Big Ange. He’s up there watching with his heavenly Stella and many, many Celts.
Stevie deserves a special mention too for everything he did, putting up his bank details so folk could donate, arranging the memorial stone and helping out MDs sister Fiona with the remaining funds.
Also Niall J - he helped some of our overseas noisers donate via his PayPal account.
Hail Hail all noisers and Michael Duffy Faither O the Noise.

Two years, wow! Certainly doesnt feel like two years.
Still the Faither of the noise and always will be.
Like most on here we never met, but he'll not be forgotten.
Stella was MDs drink but a stella guy respected by all HH ☘

Oor Michael will always be missed from this site.

It's hard to believe that 2 years have passed but he'll never be forgotten.

Cheers

MD had passed away before I joined the noise but it’s easy to see how good a person he was by the warmth and affection he is remembered by the ones lucky enough to have had dealings with him

 

[DILLIGAF]

Thinking of the great man today
He certainly left an impression on the Celtic Noise
Hat tip to Stevie for helping get the stone at Celtic Park together, and Hoopy also, and to my buddy Smelly G, who contributed on my behalf to the fund, although he'd never let on to anyone
There's some genuine humans on this site and it's testament to how much Michael meant to the site, and also to all of us, although we'd never met
Till we meet again my friend, the Stella is chilling in the fridge

Quality was the standard the standard was 4 cans of Stella and a right good blether through the night

 

[Sean Tbl Tbl]

Yup, Michael put me on tae the Noise 4/5 Yrs ago after we baith got tae Fuk fae Celtic Blog! Many a Quality conversation wae oor Mick slaggin the Huns & comparing Stella Stories!

MD was the original ' stella' guy we all loved and respected that about him and thats why he stands out, he'd likely take a brass neck if he saw this he had himility in abundance,
i knew this about MD and like most i never met him in person, he wasn't alone though there are quite a few 'Stella' guys and gals still here and many who've joined since he'd be first to point that out.

Memories like the one like that one you just described Lubo, they have a special place in your mind and so the mind has a technique that stores it differently from other memories, rather than store it with the usual time stamp in your head and stuff it stores it with the emotion that you felt at that time in MDs case sadness and shocked.
The actual timing of it isn't as important to you at that time, and that leaves almost a kind of time warp in our memories where we go " no way that can't be x amount of years ago? can't be it seems like only last year or so ago" , because it's important to not only your mind but your heart as well , your heart stores the emotion you felt on finding out about it along with your mind storing the details to go with it, because it means more to you than other things from around that time period. The disconnect between the two gives the warped time feeling.
MD meant something to you a he did to us all, it hits you almost as hard now because remembering that feeling is still sad and painful mt and you're not alone in that buddy.

With you there bud it’s an incredible fact that so many on here get emotional about a man we’ve never met in Person.
But through this wee forum he became a father/ brother/ uncle and a great friend to all who got to know his story
Agree with Winter he was always very helpful and kind to all newcomers to thi noise.
Miss him

Just goes to show as well we don't need to meet people in person to get to know them in a way we can gather information and deduce if we like this person or not based on what we learn from what they say, I think I'm going to do that with everybody from now on
