Dear Joyce and family,
We are saddened about the loss of such a noble, talented, kind and gentle man. So many lives have been touched in various ways by Duane just as he left an imprint on Warren's heart and my heart.

My condolences. Duane was such a kind man. We were members of the Artisan's Guild at the same time. I bought a painting of his that made me smile every time I saw it so I just had to take it home with me.
With Love,
