I sure didn't want to see this, but after watching the great video, family, and life story, through box of tissues, I can't help but add, A GREAT guy. But, I do wonder if he still liked to pull girls pig tails. I can only know from experience, when losing my husband in 1988, the pain you feel now God promises to turn into good. Faith in Christ truly does work.

My sympathies ....Duane was a very kind and compassionate man. He will be missed. I always enjoyed his smile and especially the light shoulder touch as he was coming into church. It meant a lot to me..it told me that he cared. Georgia, I have treasured your friendship over these many years. Take care. Bernie

Georgia and girls, I am so sad to hear of Duane's passing. He and Larry were long time best friends. I doubt that there was a golf course they did not golf on all around the southeast part of SD. Duane was there when Larry was going through alcohol treatment and was his sponsor when he got out of treatment, and remained life long friends that started when they were young. I was always so thankful for his friendship and support. Duane and Larry can now play another round of golf! :) You are all in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this sad time. You have so many great memories that will help you through this, you will cry, you will laugh, you will love and be there for each other.

Georgia and family, we are so saddened of the loss of Duane. He was a great neighbor to us when we lived across the road for 11 years. He was always willing to lend a hand and we would do the same in return. He loved to watch our kids playing in the yard. I will always remember every year how Duane would be trimming his bushes out front and he would accidentally slice through his cord. Hugs and prayers to you and your family. May God help you through these difficult days ahead. God Bless!
