Ron and I have so many fun memories with Duane. We are so happy that we were able to talk together a few weeks ago and share our love with him.Oh yes memories from Wisconsin just relaxing and goofing off, to the first rented house in Florida (what fun that was, right ) to our home in the mountians of Colorado where even Duanes hat was on lock :). We were Blessed to have Duane as our Best Man at our wedding. Duane has been the Best Man in our whole family. He was a gentle,loving,kind,forgiving person. No one could ever say a bad word about him. He was a peace maker and all respected him. He was a good Brother-in-law and we know that he is with our Lord Jesus and has been told "Son you have done well" Diane our prayers are with you now and for ever. Your sister
