Christopher M. Duffy had a passion for the Green Bay Packers and the New York Yankees.
His lighthearted nature was balanced by a willingness to help those in need, friends said.
Duffy worked for three years for Ocean's One Inc., a transport company, driving elderly
patients to medical appointments. "They'd say that, 'Chris makes me laugh a mile a minute.'
They all wanted Chris because he made them laugh and he treated them with respect," said
Danielle Ballance, the company's general manager. The 26-year-old New Jersey National
Guard member from Brick Township was killed June 4 in an ambush outside Baghdad. A
friend, Dan Haupt, characterized Duffy as a loyal person who would be the first to comfort
others. At the same time, he said Duffy was a prankster who couldn't resist tossing someone
in a pool if they were standing too close to the edge. Survivors include his wife, Casey, and
8-month-old son, Ryan.
