It has been 4 years and it just seems like yesterday that Duane was sitting with his back to the garage looking out at his garden and the back yard. He looked so peaceful sitting in the sun relaxing. He is truly missed. His Smile always brightened the day.

We remember Duane for the Boat Lover he was. For the ice sailing boat as well as the motor boat and the Big Sail boat. The scuba diving and the jogging. He loved his Motorcycle. He was a great Dad and a Good Neighbor. We still miss him and miss seeing him sitting by the garage. The Memories are many and they are held close to our hearts. It seems like yesterday he said his goodbye to the neighborhood and moved to Grand Blanc. It seems like a million years since he went to walk with God . Prayers flowing to the Family during this Anniversary and always. The Clements Clan Luise ,Sussi and Loretta.
