Not sure what to say?

Very Sorry to hear this. I was an orphan at St. Vincent home for Boys next to Roanoke Catholic High. Duke and some friends would come to the home and takes us out to Hokie games. God Bless Him

My families most heart felt condolences for the family of Coach Duke at their time of loss. The lessons he tought me while at Elizabeth Forward still carry with me today.

To the Strager Family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Coach Strager was a wonderful person. I was blessed to have him at Elizabeth Forward High School.

Linny,
I was so very sorry to hear of Duke's passing. Unfortunately I heard too late to attend his funeral and I apologize for that. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

To the Strager family,
We had the pleasure of having Coach Strager teach us at Elizabeth Forward High School, PA and it gives us deep sorrow to hear of his passing. I wish the family the best during this hardship. In our thoughts and prayers.

To the Strager Family:
I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that all the families from the old neighborhood in Elizabeth send thier condolences and love.

Dear Strager Family, I was deeply sadden by the news, that Duke had passed. I had the pleasure of being taught by Duke while attending Concord College in the early '90's. He was a great friend and well loved and admired by so many of us at Concord. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss, I only heard about it today, I would have certainly been there to say goodbye. Coach was such a blessing in my life; during my time at Concord and the Rush he believed in me when others did not. He will be deeply missed and never understand the impact he had on my life.
