As a child it was such a treat. To go with my grandma to pick up her medicine and have a soda at the soda fountain. Such great memories he was a kind a caring man. If it wasn’t for him my grandma would not have had medicine. He aloud her to charge Christmas gifts for her grandchildren. I still have two of the porcelain dolls. She bought from there. I’m so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with all of you.

Our family appreciates how Duane took our dad, Orville, under his wing at Brookdale. Dad always had a buddy to talk to at meals and to check on him during the day. Despite how Duane was feeling that day, he was concerned about others. We will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers for Sandy and Carol, especially during this time.
