To Duane's family... I was so sad to have just learned of Duane's passing. It didn't seem that long ago that we spoke in the hospital, and he was looking forward to going home. He was always so helpful with my car at Tallman's, even before we realized we were related, and always ready with a funny story or comment. He will be sadly missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most sad and difficult time.

Mike & Harold,
How can i possibly express my sorrow and sadness of the loss of your brother and my cousin? Duane was such a character...always teasing unmercifully...but that's what made Duane so uniquely Duane...His merry ways, joyous laughter, steady grin...and his sharp wit...remembering all his outrageous and amusing behaviours makes me smile...He will live on in all our many memories...I know you will miss him terribly and so will everyone else who had the privlidge of knowing him.
May you find peace & comfort from your most cherished memories.
Robin

Uncle Ronnie & Aunt Alleen,
My heart goes out to you and your family during this challenging time.
Duane to me, will always be, "Pinching Bug", i don't know if you knew or remember that's what i always called him. He was always chasing me & pinching me, just to hear me squeel. I remember him as always smiling, laughing & being so full of life and energy. His passing will not only leave a void in our lives, but in the hearts of all those who knew him. He will always remain in my heart through my many fond memories.
May the strength of Duane's love always be with you both.
Robin

To the family of Duane:
I stopped in at the hospital about a month ago to visit with Duane. We had a great talk and a great visit together. Duane was an exceptional man, a great employee at Tallman's and especially a good friend to all of us that worked with him. I am so very sorry for your loss. I am sure that all who knew him, will share that feeling as well. May God sustain you through this time.
