Dear Mr. and Mrs Baisley,
I was saddened to learn of Duane's passing. I was his teacher in 1980 at Sargent Elementary School. I still remember his wonderful smile, especially when he played the Prince in our class presentation of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! My deepest sympathy.

I hope that you and the family can find some peace in knowing that he loved you all very much especially his niece and nephews.
