Mr. Dukes kindness was equaled only by that laugh and smile! He will be missed by all, but his legacy is what he left us all... Love, warmth, kindness, a desire to strive for excellence, professional goals tempered with personal character, and grace.
We are praying for all of you to feel God's peace during this difficult time of transition. Love to you all.

To the Dukes family. I am a Latina INROADS-Wisconsin alumna (Class of '78). I will always remember the kindness and encouragement Senor Dukes provided to all of us. Next to our founder Frank Carr, Enoch inspired us to do our best, to believe in ourselves and to overcome obstacles. He holds a special place in our hearts. God bless you for sharing him with us. May the fond memories you have of Enoch help you during this time.

April 30, 2014

Dear Florence,
I am so sorry to hear of Enoch's passing. Please know that You are in my prayers. I know the road you are walking because I went down that road 20 years ago.

You stay strong and walk with God. It does get better.

I worked with Enoch many years ago at Jos. Schlitz Brewing Co. Over the years we would run into each other again and catch up on family/career news. I will always remember him as the kindest, most thoughtful, compassionate man I ever met. Warmest blessings to the Dukes family. We lost a wonderful man.

To the Family, it has been a long time since I've seen Enoch, but I remember his smile and the compassion he showed to everyone. He is a "Giant" and will be greatly missed. Florence, you all are in my prayers. Love you!

To the Duke Family
I pray the amazing grace of God hover around the Duke family giving them comfort in this time of sorrow. Psalm 91:4 says He will cover you with feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
Amazing grace!
