About Rev. Fr. William Richard Duffey, S.J.
The son of the founder of Marquette University's Department of Speech, Fr. William R. Duffey died Dec. 15, 2006 at the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex. He was 85.
Born in Austin, Texas, on Jan. 10, 1921, Bill's family migrated to Milwaukee where Bill graduated from Marquette High in 1938. He entered the Society of Jesus at Florissant, completed his collegiate studies at Saint Louis University in 1947, and, capitalizing on his father's example, taught speech at his alma mater in the 1945-46 and 1947-48 school years. He was ordained in 1951.
Following a post-ordination year in Belize, Bill held a series of assignments while living at Marquette High (1954-75).
For a brief time Bill offered his services to the Diocese of Gallup, New Mexico (1976-78) but returned to Marquette High and retired from ministry for personal and health reasons. He moved into the Milwaukee County facility in 1994.
