Dear Wong Family,
Please accept my sincere condolences in the loss of your husband, father, brother and son. I had the pleasure of working with Duke for many years at Aerojet and was truly saddened to hear of his passing this past weekend.
May his memory be eternal and may those of you left behind know he is remembered with much admiration. Peace be with you friend!

Besides being a competent, confident and accomplished engineer Duke was a warm and affectionate friend. His manner was always easy but his dedication and determination were always firm. His devotion to friends and family shined through. He was a pleasure to work with and remained a friend long after the work was done. He'll be missed but, most importantly, he'll be remembered for his friendly and courteous manner and an easy sense of humor that made it a pleasure working with him.

Please accept my most sincere condolences. Although I've been away from Aerojet 8 years now, I still have fond memories of Duke, who always was a great engineer and fun to work with. Everyone who knew him will miss him greatly.

Cindy, Ryan and Jon, We send our deepest condolences to you during this most difficult time. May the wonderful memories you've shared stay close to your hearts forever.

Cindy, Ryan and Jonathan,

We are sorry to hear of your loss. He was a great soccer coach for the Wolverines and he always encouraged Collin to do his best and enjoy the game. We also will remember all the fun we had at the Oshiro camping trip with you and the family. He will be missed but not forgotten.

You are all in our thoughts and prayers. My daughter and I would be invited to some of my parents gatherings of their friends and he would always have a warm smile and kind words. Malaiyah and I will miss his presence at all the future gatherings!

We are deeply saddened over the loss of Duke. Of course, we will miss Duke but will always remember him as a good friend and a terrific soccer coach. Duke coached the Wolverines empasizing good sportsmanship and just having fun which provided life-long memories for Kenneth. Also, Duke will always be part of our cherished memories of our annual camping trips to Trinity. And,we're sure our group of friends will still get together over dinner and a drink now and then, but it just won't be the...
