My Dad ( Jack Triestram ) worked with Duke for many years as a Kalamazoo City Fireman. Sending condolences to his family.

I worked with "Duke" Cutshaw at Public Safety. We shared many days,his office was next to mine when I was in the training division and he was always a source of advice and support. I remember seeing Duke during the Vicksburg Car Shows. Always a smile. Godspeed Duke.
