I met Duane through my daughter. Duane loved to watch her bowl. He loved to come early to the bowling center on nights he bowled so he could watch her practice. We use to talk at length and I learned of his love for bowling, the Navy, the military, and country. I will miss our talks on how to make the military or country great again. You were a great patriot, friend, and fellow veteran. Thanks for being my friend.

I met Duane at Gage Center Bowl after I had a lesson one Tuesday afternoon. I had noticed he was always one of the first people to league every week, ready and eager to bowl. One day, he came up to me and told me he like the way I bowled and wanted to bowl on a Youth/Adult league with me. So that's what we did.
After I met Duane, I finally knew what it was like to truly love the game. He would have to sit out a few weeks because of various surgeries or procedures but as soon as the doctor gave him the "okay" he was right back out there. I aspire to be as passionate about the game as Duane was.
He was more than just a spirited bowler. He was someone so close to me, I referred to him as my own grandfather at times. He always wanted to know how I was doing, how my dad's military things were going and if my mom was alright. He was a very caring man and will be missed by many.
