Duke was a kind soul and gentleman; may he rest in peace. Always pleasant, funny and clever. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

This is what I fondly remember Duke always saying:
Courage! What makes a king out of a slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the sphinx the seventh wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the "ape" in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got?
Rest in Peace Cowardly Lion

Duke was a great friend growing up. I remember the milk shakes he would make for us after school, made with Oreo cookies and chocolate chip ice cream. Long before Cookies and Cream ever thought of being made. Duke was extremely smart, kind and a true friend. He is truly missed.
