RIP Duane from the ushers at the 5pm Sat. mass at St. Louis. It was always good to see you come through the door. You will be missed. We will keep an eye on Mary for you.
Greg, Bob, Larry.

I'm so sorry for your loss as a husband, father, and grandfather. I had the pleasure of working with Duane at Securian. It seems like so many years ago. I've been lucky enough to see him in the skyway and catch up for a minute to hear how much he was enjoying his life of retirement. I do remember most about all the updates he had about his grandchildren. He had so much love for his family. I'm going to miss seeing and talking with him. He was a great guy with a lot of wit that always made you laugh and smile. I hope that all can remember such a guy like I do.
My sympathies,

Duane worked in my area when I first started at Securian and his humor and wit were very memorable! He helped make a day at the "new job" easier and more fun. I loved to share jokes with him! He retired a year or too after that and was missed by all. Sorry for your loss now, and I hope the obviously warm & happy memories that you have of him will sustain you through this time.
Sincerely,
Sue Nolen

My condolences to Duane's family and his many friends. He was not only a coworker to me, but a wonderful mentor and friend! We shared so many laughs and I thoroughly enjoyed his quick wit! He will be missed, but I am so thankful to have known him!

He called me "Blondie" and I just adored working with him. Such a smart man! I really loved talking with him and words can't express how sad and sorry I am that he is not with us any more. I know how much he loved his family, and was so proud of his grandchildren! Duane, may you rest in peace, you are forever loved and missed. Lots of love from "Blondie" :)
