Duane Battaglini

Dear Sharon,
I was so sorry to learn that you lost Duane. I know your faith will help you through this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sharon, was informed today from Ray Battaglini about Duane. Have known him and Ray since arriving in San Leandro in 1954. He and Ray were my Best Men when I got married in Reno back in 63. Had lost contact with him over the year. My condolence to you and the Duane family.

Our hearts truly ache for Sharon and all of Duane's loved ones, and our prayers continue to go out for them during these most difficult times.
Duane was loved like the brother I never had. In his last days, what strength, courage, faith and dignity he exhibited.
Surely our Heavenly Father received him saying, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."
With loving sympathy,
Terry and Nancy

We will miss Duane at our bible study
and all the things we did together.
We know he is with Jesus and we will
also be with him someday. Our thoughts
and prayers are with the family.

Since reuniting with Duane and meeting and loving Sharon, Bob & I have shared and created lasting memories. I had not seen Duane & Ray since our Senior HS days in the PI, but seemed we didn't lose a minute when we met again. We look forward to another reunion in Heaven when God calls us. Sharon, we're here for you, may God hold you in the palm of His hands. Cheryl (Nelson) & Bob Perron, Jacksonville, FL

Only Met Duane at Destin but he was a Waggie and I salute him.
I am sorry for your loss Sharon

Dear Friends,
We so appreciate your thoughtfulness and many kind words. My father will be remembered by all as a GREAT man. Let His Word be a lamp unto your feet and a light unto your path. Psalm 119:105( Dad's favorite). His prayer was that all would come to know Christ so all could join him in Heaven to rejoice with the angels." This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it!"
Bless you all, and may He comfort you in your loss as well.

I remember Duane when I lived in the Philippine Islands. He was a gentleman then and I am sure he lived his life the same way. I was lucky to have known him. Barbara Wiley

I met Duane while working at Bombardier Lear Jet in the mid 1990s. As soon as he found out that I was a Christian and a Golfer, we became friends. Duane’s love of golf was only surpassed by his contagious love of the Lord Jesus Christ. I have played countless rounds of golf with Duane during the 13 or so years that I have been playing golf. Duane was always up for a game. I will miss him as a friend and a Christian brother but I know and would gladly testify of his love if our lord. I am...
