I joined the Oglesby family almost 19 years ago and am so glad to have had the opportunity to know Duane. He was a loving father to Jessica and a wonderful son to Betty and Hub, and great husband to Marda. Duane I know you are soaring with the Angels and we will all meet you, Don, Melissa, my mother Marie and our other loved ones who left before us when our time comes. To Hub, Betty, Jessica and Marda, Roy and I will always be here for you for any of your needs. We love you all.
