As a neighbor, I knew Mr. DUCAP as a very joyful and kind man. I will always remember him clearing the snow off the lake so the neighbor kids could learn to skate and have a camp fire with his own kids. He also set up a big tent in his yard for us to join his girls in a sleep/camp over. I think he was a very good father. My deepest sympathies, Candy.

My mother Anne Hardin and James left Charter together with a Angel sent from the Lord. This makes my heart feel happy that they were not alone in their journey to the heavens.
My father Norm Hardin who pass away in 2000 was also a member of the Davison VFW I feel they may have known each other. My arms reach out to your family to share in the loss of our loved one. May God be with you. Rhonda Rau (Daughter of Anne & Norm Hardin)

Kelly and all the DuCap Clan - it was a blessing to me to share time with your wonderful family and especially your Dad whether it was on his birthday or when you had him on the lawn tractor mowing the pasture. I know you all will miss him dearly and I will keep you in my prayers.
