I loved my dad so much he was the best dad in the world. He hid from me what he was going through because I was so young, I do understand but I am so sad that I was not there for him.Me and my family were crushed. I wish I could have written this earlier I am just now finding but I am glad I got to do it. I love you so much dad. Love Joe.

Your loss still weighs so heavy on my heart. You were a bright light in this world - a tireless social justice activist and professor, brilliant therapist, and wonderful friend. Your legacy lives on in your beautiful family and the many lives you touched with your deep authenticity and compassion. You will always be remembered.

Duane Patrick Haley was my nephew. He was a lively and energetic spirit. He was a great family man and scholar. HE LOVED HIS CHILDREN, Joseph and Emma. I always loved watching him interacting with my mother, his grandmother. They work laugh and tell jokes together. Sometimes he would visit with my mother and at the end of the visit he would say: HEY GRANDMA......I’m out of here! He was a great nephew and friend. With Lots of Love, Uncle Maurice ❤❤❤

Amazing professor, I loved hearing your opinion and feeling heard in class. Thank you. You made a huge impact on my first year at a PWI from an HBCU lol. That meant a lot to me.

Duane was a fabulous family man to all of us regardless of our many differences. He loved his children purely. He will be missed for his happy spirit, sense of humor, and civil rights leadership. With Love, Uncle Maurice (as he always called me)

Duane Patrick was a special nephew and friend of mine. He had a wonderful spirit, he was friendly, and he had a great sense of humor. He was an excellent husband and he loved his children with all of his heart, spending enormous amounts of time with each of them together and separately. He took his children out of school to make time for them in special visits to Washington, DC. His family and I spent time over great meals in both Baltimore and Washington, DC. I loved to hear him say to my mother, his grandmother: "Hey Grandma! I'm out of here" every time he visited with her at the Charlestown Retirement Community. And regardless of how old he became he always called me: Uncle Maurice with a spirit of love and connectivity. Duane was a family man and considered us all family regardless of our many differences. He was a civil rights leader and vocal on social injustices. Duane was a man who stood tall! I will miss him and his special kind of love of all! With Love Uncle Maurice
