DUFF ANDREW Age 91, of Pittsburgh, passed from this Earth to be with the Lord on Monday, January 12, 2015. He was a loving husband, caring father of two sons, grandfather of six, and great-grandfather of one. Andy was born on July 26, 1923, to Margaret (Main) Duff and Thomas Gray Duff. He was their youngest child of three boys. After leaving the US Navy, Andy worked several jobs but found his occupational calling as an industrial printer, and eventually started his own business. Andy married Eleanor Ann Murison of Pittsburgh on Sept. 19, 1953. After marriage, they continued to live in Pittsburgh, then Florida, but in 1959 settled in Penn Hills. Andy is survived by his wife, Eleanor; and two children, Andrew W. and his wife, Margaret Wallace, Robert J. and his wife, Kristen Wittmaier. His grandchildren are Jason, Brian, Kevin, Katie, Joshua, and Alex; and the great-granddaughter, Harper. Andy liked reading, western films, coffee, building miniature wooden structures (e.g. doll houses), drawing, but most of all he loved to “talk about the Lord”. Andy was supportive and active at Murrysville Bible Chapel where he served as church elder for more than 35 years. Also, he was on the board of directors for Life's Key Ministry for many years. Late in his life, he began a ministry using his skills with woodworking to create a replica of the Jewish Tabernacle which was lent to local churches for teaching purposes. Last but not least, he started a daily morning coffee shop ministry in Penn Hills. He was a friend to many and missed by all!
