The Paschke Family,
We are saddened to hear about your loss. I will always remember him as "little duffer" who was never old enough to participate in the Boy Scout activities with us. However, that never stopped him from trying to be around the scout troop whenever possible. Our prayers and thoughts are with Duffer and your family.

Gerry & Evelynne,
So sorry to hear about your loss. I remember Bunny more than Duane, but I do recall Mom & Dad always spoke highly of all your kids. I saw the note from Jenny on the 'Classmates' website. Think of both of you often. Take care. Gerry Happ (Pudge)
