He was Uncle Duane to me...I have fond memories of times when Chris and Brooke were young and our families got together. My prayers are with all of extended family he leaves behind.

Duane was a good friend, educator, and assistant district attorney. I met him when I was a police detective at The Village PD. He filed many charges for me, and also taught me police science classes during my college years. He was a class act. I was so concerned while he had a difficult time from the Murrah Bombing tragedy. I'm so sorry I did not contact him in his later years. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
