I find the news of Duke's passing very sad for me and the many people that knew him. I considered him to be a special friend for over two decades. I thought Duke would be around "forever" and this is such a sudden suprise to me. RIP my friend, and to Duke's family my greatest sympathies to you too!

This is truly sad news…Duke had such a way about him that if he only met you once you were his friend forever. May you rest in peace our friend, and may God bless his loved ones in this sad time and always.

Sorry to hear about Duke's death today. We were in the same police academy back in 1974. RIP Duke.
