Duane L. Triplett

Duane promoted my earliest Alaska image, 'Anchorage Sunset', (made from across the Turnagain Arm of the Cook Inlet,) as the station logo for the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour' in the spring of 1983, He would go on to use other images to promote me. Both the money he paid me, and the incredible exposure he provided me, was invaluable to the establishment of my business and life in Alaska. He proudly boasted, "I want to be able to say, 'I am the first person to sponsor you in Alaska.'" He was, and...

"Mr. Triplett" was my basketball coach in about the years 1982 to 1984: 13 years old on. He made it fun at a time when that's all it should have been. I hadn't seen Duane in the years since, but was very sorry to hear of his loss to the family and community at large. I lost both of my parents in 2002 under tragic circumstances. The entire family has my knowing condolences for what it is you are going through. For what it is worth: It does get better in time, try to remember that each day to...

I will miss you Uncle Duane! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I was a guest at Duane and Colleen's wedding, and through the years, knew that he provided a happy life for his family, friends and co-workers. He devoted half of his last year to makingf life as comfortable and stress-free as possible for his mother-in-law, Pat Gross, now 97. May he be blessed in return. God bless his family.

Colleen and family:

So sorry to learn of Duane's passing. I last worked with him at KIMO, but my fondest memories of Duane will always be his time at KTVA and doing "The Buckaroos" show. Duane will be missed and will always be my Buckaroo buddy.

Love and God bless

Travis, Sara, and the entire Triplett family,

I am so sorry to hear of Duane's passing. I wish I was writing under better circumstances, but please know that you're all in my thoughts and prayers.

Love and miss you all,
Renea

Duane was a large figure in spirit and humor, and I will miss him. He left such a tremendous legacy in his loving family.

Duane was an incredible influence on me personally and professionally. He was always there when he was needed. If it wasn't for him I would not have had the opportunity to do what I am doing today which is helping others with all their advertising needs through my own company. The world was a better place with him in it and my blessings go out to all his family.

Thank you Duane for your friendship, words of encouragement and advise you given to me when I worked at Ak SAles. You'll be miss. God Bless you and your family.
