Gloria, Cristie and Morgan, Even though I have only known Duane for a few years, he was one of the kindest, most friendly man. His smile and humor was unforgettable! You couldn't help but like him from the 1st. time you met him. He devoted his life to his wife, Gloria, daughter Cristie and grand daughter Morgan. He opened up his home to Gloria's old high school friends, not knowing us, that's just how he was. He will be greatly missed by many! Fritz and Joey from St. Marys, Pa.

Duane was one of the nicest men I have ever met in my whole life. His love and devotion for his wife, one of my best friends, said a whole lot about him. The world was definitely a nicer place because of him and he will be greatly missed.
