Aunt Donna, Duane jr, Dana & Dawn, I am so sorry about Uncle Duane. He was an Uncle who I admired dearly and had a lot of respect for. I was proud to be his niece. I will remember all the family gatherings in Sanford and Dayton, they were great times. The memories of Uncle Duane I will always hold deep in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Take care, God Bless
love Loriann

My thoughts and prays are with the Rancourt family. I only have happy thoughts of Duane from working at the Viking Nursing Home. I remember all those times he took us out on Casco Bay on his boat. He didn't have to do that, but he did for his employees. It was a time for growth for all of us that worked at the Viking and a pleasure. My thoughts are with you.

I know I speak for a bereaved bridge community in expressing the deep sorrow we feel in losing Duane. To have known him as a friend, director and occasional bridge partner was a very special privilege I shall always be grateful for. My love and sympathy to Donna and all the family.

Donna, I am very sorry for your loss. Having loss my sister last October, I know time will ease the pain and heartbreak; but not remove it. You must count on family and friends because they are a big part in the healing process. Hold tight to your wonderful memories and they too will help you on your way.

I first met Duane at the Cunner Club eight years ago. Each year I got to talk a little more and realized what a wonderful man he was. He could chat about anything. I always looked forward to our first Tuesday of August. He was a true gentleman and I enjoyed his fellowship. I will treasure the memories of our friendship. My sympathies go out to his family. He will be greatly missed.

Duane's presence and guidance at the In-Between Bridge Club will be sorely missed. He loved to compete at the great game of duplicate and he was a true sportsman at it. We all share in your loss.

To the Rancourt Family, From the Taylor Family, Our time with your Dad was one of Life and Learning.
I sit here thinking of the years he and my dad played cards together and just think they are at it again, teaming up watching over us while we live our lives as they tried to lead us. Please smile with me with this thought and know that the Taylor Family is thinking of you in this time of sorrow,yet knowing that
life takes a full turn and your dad's turn was up. Please call when you need to talk.
