Lyda and I extend our deepest sympathies to my cousin Katie, their wonderful children, Rosemary and Dennis, and the entire Kobs and LaFond families for the loss of their beloved Duane. From the time of Duane and Katie's betrothal and wedding 65 years ago and over all the years since, I was always impressed with Duane's kind and loving devotion to Katie and their family. He will truly be missed. Although he has departed this world for his well deserved Heavenly reward, he will live on in our memories of him. May God bless Duane. May God bless his family. May God bless all who knew and loved him.
