Simply put - Duke was one of the men who I've spent my life trying to live up to. Honorable, funny, compassionate, hard working, selfless - the world has a bit less joy & a lot less laughter without him.

To the Anderson family: I was so sorry to hear that Duke passed away. He was such a great guy and it was always so fun to run into him and catch up a little. He was a special man and will certainly be missed by all who knew him.
