Sending much love and condolences to Karen and the entire Duddlesten family. Mr Duddlesten was such a kind and loving gentleman with a delightful sense of humor. It was a pleasure getting to know him and an honor to be a part of his healthcare team. I will miss seeing him and regret that Leon (aka Tiger ) did not have a chance to meet him. He was a fighter til the end and I will always have fond memories of him. Alycia Hughes, LMSW / M D Anderson Cancer Center ( Houston, TX )

Jerri, Terri and Bubba.
I was just so sad to hear of "Uncle" Wayne's passing. He was such an important part of my life, and it makes me happy to know that my daughters, Camille and Sophia, also knew Uncle Wayne and will remember him very fondly.
I will miss his smile and laughter. My memory of them will always make me smile!
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Forrest and I have been privileged to have been Wayne & Karen's neighbors, living just across the hall! My love and prayers go out for Karen & the entire family. Not only is Wayne missed by many who knew him as family, friend, business aquaintance, etc. but I'm aware that Annie, his dog, is missing him dearly, as I have observed a change in her behavior! Much love to you, Karen! You may knock on our door anytime, night or day!

I was priviledged to work with Waynes' organization on several of his real estate developments. He was a fine man who set a great example. He was one of a kind and (Houston) we will miss him.

During my time as President of National Jewish, Wayne's efforts on the hospital's behalf were extraordinary, marked not only by his willingness to roll up his sleeves to get the job done, but also by the clarity of his vision and the tact with which he put forward his suggestions. Later, Wayne provided great counsel as I embarked on a new chapter in my life. I regret only that I did not make more effort to stay in touch over the past 10 years. He was a remarkable human being - smart, caring, diplomatic and energetic. We will not see his equal again for a long, long time.

This world lost a fine caring man with the death of Wayne. He sat with me, giving me comfort during my wife's heart surgery some 12 years ago. My biggest regret in this life is that our schedules, which seemed to grow beyond our control, did not permit us to be together as we had in earlier years. He was in my mind and heart, though, with each passing day. I shall miss you my dear friend and I pray for your family during this time of their grief. We will always have our memories and love that you shared with us.
