Gary Duffy has passed away

Much admired trainer, coach and USEF judge Gary Duffy of Little Brook Farms died Saturday. Based in Wellington, Fla., the beloved mentor is survived by his wife, Donna; daughters Augusta and Kelsey, and three grandchildren.

Megan MacCallum, a longtime friend, said of him, “He helped so many people over the years in so many different directions. We were all lucky to have him in our lives for as long as we did.”

Laurie Lynn Scott noted of the New York State native, “Gary was one of the most wonderful people I ever met. He did everything right, from how he treated the horses to how he treated people.”

Gary was always one to give back, whether to individuals or organizations, such as the Pennsylvania National Horse Show, for which he was a board member.
