I fondly remember Duane and all of the Tanners from Barryton. He was in my class from K-12th grades. Have enjoyed his wife Lila as she joined our class for many class reunions. Duane always had a great smile and participated in all school activities. He will be missed. George and Aletha Pitts Stepanovic
