Dear Jean & Family,

So sorry for your loss. I lived across the street from the family in Bellwood for many years. He will be remembered as so many things. Fun loving, friend, public voice, father, husband, and in general a great person! You will be missed. My thoughts & prayers are with Jean & family at this most difficult time.

Mrs. Sourile - although i never had the opportunity to meet your husband, I spoke with him many times over the years.

Mr. Sourile had the ability to turn
a bad day frown into a smile.

I looked forward to his
annual calls to our office -
- Duke's charming words
always made me laugh.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I saw this notice today and called my Mom immediately - I had always heard about "Duke" Sourile when I was growing up. My Mom, Lorraine (Sourile) Danhoff was his first cousin and as she's 84 now and recovering from illness, she still remembered him fondly as a kind, smart and wonderful man in his youth. God Bless you all. It runs in the family I see. We're very sorry for your loss.

Jean and family

Duke was always there with an encouraging word and smile for everyone. He knew how to make everyone feel important. The world needs more "Duke's" he will be missed. It was a joy and priviledge to work with him at the Luse Companies. My prayers are with your entire family at this time.
