I remember Duke (and Bobbi) from the fair. He always had a smile on his face and was always happy to see you. Always happy to help out in any way he could. He will be missed.

It was nice to be able to play cards at our Senior Center in Charlotte with both Duke and Bobbie. It was nice to see them both again so many years after you girls took dance class from me. I'm so sorry for your loss. Remember the good times. Wilma
