MADISON - John A. "Jack" Duffie, age 80, died in Madison, on Saturday, April 
23, 2005. He was born on March 31, 1925, in White Plains, N.Y., to Archibald 
Duncan Duffie and Lulie Atwater Duffie, the youngest of their five children. 
He grew up in upstate New York. He received BChE and MChE degrees from 
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the 
University of Wisconsin-Madison. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1943 until 
1946, then worked briefly for DuPont before being called up again to act as a 
scientific liaison officer with the Office of Naval Research in Chicago during 
the Korean War. In 1947 Jack married Patricia Ellerton, the beginning of a 
happy marriage of more than 57 years. In 1954 Jack joined the faculty at UW to 
found the Solar Energy Laboratory in the College of Engineering. He was its 
director until he retired as Emeritus Professor of Chemical Engineering in 
1988, and is recognized around the world as a pioneer in the solar energy 
field. He enjoyed his work with his colleagues, authored several engineering 
books with them and was working on a new edition when he died. As well as 
teaching and research, he was for 10 years an associate dean of the graduate 
school and head of the University-Industry Research program. He was a past 
president of the International Solar Energy Society and was editor of the 
society's journal for eight years. The Duffie family has a cabin in Vilas 
County, and for 40 years the whole family has been working on the cabin and 
the property. Jack loved the woods, lakes and wildlife, and spent as much time 
as possible there. The Duffies loved to travel, and worked and lived in 
Australia, England and briefly in Sweden. Music, art and opera were particular 
interests, and Jack served on the Board of Directors of Madison Opera. He 
never missed an opportunity to see an opera. Jack's hobbies were photography, 
woodworking and sailing. He was a dedicated runner and for many years enjoyed 
the company of good friends on daily runs. Family ancestry, particularly the 
McFie clan of Scotland, was another special interest. In 2002 Jack and Pat 
moved to Oakwood Village West where they enjoyed life in the retirement 
community. The family is grateful for the assistance of HospiceCare in the 
last weeks of Jack's life. Jack and Pat had three children, Neil, his wife, 
Colleen (Russell), and their children, Meghan, Patrick and Laura of Madison, 
Judy, her husband, Jim Schwarzmeier, and their sons, James and Jay of Eau 
Claire, and Susan, her husband, Paul Buse, and their children, Kristin and 
Michael of North Potomac, Md. Jack is also survived by his sisters, Myra 
Ledyard, Virginia Putnam and Nancy Shuster; a brother, C.R. Duffie; many 
nephews; and nieces. The family will receive visitors at the CRESS FUNERAL 
HOME, 3610 Speedway Road, Madison, on Friday, April 29, 2005, from 5 p.m. 
until 7 p.m. A memorial service will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2005, at 1
