Great memories of Duke. Through our teen years and adult years, this man always made us smile. So happy that our children got to meet him and hear his stories and most of all got to see him "wash his eye". They would have never believes us. May he live through memories and the love he brought to his family and those around him. God be with his family and friends through this journey. Hugs and love to you all. The Hoekstra's
