Duane service Beautiful. Him and Mom were the perfect couple for 27 years. He loved it when the girls (Teresa and Sandy) would bring cake over and to just drop in and say hi. Tommy and Tim always helped him with the Christmas lights which looked AMAZING, you could see it two blocks away. Thank you Bill and Raymond for always lending a helping hand to move something and for keeping his mower going. Gone but not forgotten, we have Lots of Precious Memories.

Michael, Leianne and Loretta (Taylor).. Duane was one of the first men in my childhood memory that had an absolute positive impact on my life! He was a positive and encouraging role model for me to follow! In my teen years he and Loretta provided a much needed example of a model family. For that I am thankful! Know that Duane will forever hold a special place in my heart! I love you all! Boa K. Cox
