Duane, aka Stork, was a friend of mine at NC. He was the spirit of NC at many athletic functions. I met up with Duane several times after NC, and he was upbeat and cheerful each time I saw him. The last time I saw him was at the VA hospital. Duane, I hope you are keeping them laughing up there !
Your old pal,

Duane was a good friend. He cared about many things and was always curious to know how things were for family and friends. He will be missed by me and others that stayed in touch with Duane. I can still hear his laughter and see a smile. Rest In Peace.
