It is with sadness that I have to inform you of the death on the 16th May 2023, peacefully at home of ex Sgt 539 John DUFFY, 82 years, of Buxton. His next of kin is his wife, Mrs Angela Duffy.
John retired in 1989 as a result of an injury on duty. He served in Chesterfield and then mainly in Buxton Division in CID and Traffic. He then worked part time for the local council as a taxi enforcement officer until about 2000 when he lived with Alzheimer’s, cared for by his wife, family and carers. John’s funeral has been arranged for 1.30pm on Monday 5th June 2023 at St. Annes Catholic Church, Terrace Road, Buxton SK17 6DU followed by Cremation at Macclesfield Crematorium, 7 Westfields Avenue, Macclesfield SK10 3BU. Afterwards at Cavendish Golf Club, Gadley Lane, Buxton SK17 6XF. Sean Murphy (Secretary)

John was one of those bobbies of (to me as a raw probationer), indeterminate service, who was at Buxton when I arrived in early 1972 into a world of Morris 1000 Pandas and sheep dipping. I respected him for his calm, no nonsense ability and knowledge. Our careers parted ways but during 45 years service, his was a name and collar number I always remembered. Deepest sympathy to Angela and family.
