My sympathy goes out to the entire family. I had the pleasure of working with "Duke" at Toledo Edison Co., for many years, and met your Mom on various occasions. Your parents were very kind and generous people. Duke talked of his wife and family often. How lucky all of you were. Regards to all of you. Judy Yockey
