To the entire Nelson Family,

We are so sorry for your loss.
We enjoyed Duanes company very much, loved playing center right left with the big family group, camping with him up at the lake, and visiting him up in Culver. He was always telling jokes with a straight face and I think he got a kick out of the fact that I never got the joke. Will miss him very much. May your memories give you comfort at this time.
We Love you,
Dave and Beck

I will remember Duane for his almost constant smile. He always said hello to you and had a story to tell. He was known to all of us "youngsters" as the Legend on the Lanes. Our prayers are for the Lord's grace and comfort for his family and friends in this time of loss. Roger Talley

Our thoughts and prayers are sent to all the Nelson family.
We met Duane in 1972 and Bob bowled with him on the same team with his brothers and stepdad Chet Martin. Always fun at Palisades and trips to the State tournaments. Lost touch 15 years ago when we moved but will always have fond memories of Duane and the entire Nelson family. Bob and Rosemary Emmerich Keizer, Oregon

So Sorry for your loss. Duane was my friend and my mentor when I first started bowling at Palisades lanes many years ago. I worked for him at Palisades and spent many nights "after bowling" with Duane. I kind of lost track of him the last few years but he was never forgotten. I will treasure the memories of him and Thurston Gilchrist and the fun times we had together. God Bless..... From Larry Schreiter and family
