Duane had many accomplishments over the years but rarely spoke of them. Instrumental in the founding of the Warroad and Roseau Eagles Clubs and lifetime member of the Legion. He wore many hats from snowmobile racing/mechanic to farming and woodsman he could tell stories like no other about simpler times and hard work. The winters were spent in the woods at the cabin. As it made for a great place for all the friends and family to gather. Spring was time to run the sawmill to cut the big timbers from winter logging many of us have fond memories of the mill. Summers were filled with grain farming, hay cutting, and taking the "Warroad Warbler" boat out fishing.
Duane is survived by his son Daniel (Sandra) Comstock. Step children Rondalyn (Gene) Meyer and Wayne Pieper. Grandchildren Bryan (Diana) Pieper, Traci (Jeradan) Otto, Clifford (Cassie) Comstock.
