Duane, you are missed. You are in a far better place, away from the tumultuous Hurricane Berta! You were such a trooper to deal with her for so long, even when she was violent. Much love, my kind sir.

Roberta, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Heartbroken is the only way to describe it. Duane was such a great guy. Funny, imaginative and such an all-around quality person. I am privileged to know him and count him as a friend. Much love to you, Jack & family.

Duane was a sweet, sweet man, always there to offer help to anyone who asked.
I will miss his mischievous grin and his quick wit.
He will be missed by so many of us. Rest in heavenly peace, dear cousin. Until we meet again

Remembering Duane along with his brother as they were kids in our neighborhood growing up. They played with my son, Dan, who is no longer with us either. Sending my sympathy to all of you and wishing you peace. Carolyn LeRoy
