We have had the great privilege of knowing Duke for the past 5 years. From the moment you met him we knew that have just made the acquaintance of a special person. In no time at all we became dear dear friends. It was love at first sight. We indeed will miss him, but his sparkle was infectious and we are so fortunate that a tiny bit of this sparkle found its way to us. He has made our lives more rewarding. Thank you Duke.

There is nothing to describe the sadness we fell at Duke's passing. A wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend, Duke will be missed by all that knew him. I can't believe I will not be able to sit around the pool and listen to Duke Usdan stories, but I will be able to repeat some of the many stories Duke shared with me. May the entire Usdan family be comforted by the wonderful memories of Duke. May he rest in peace.

May your fondest memories of Duke bring you comfort and peace.
My memories of him date back to the '50's when we attended Usdan Family Circle gatherings at the home of Uncle Dave and Aunt Mae in Lawrence, NY. Duke was impressive then and evidently became more so as he aged.
