Condolences

Pops,
You had such an impact on me. You imparted your dry humor and ability to feel everything and feel it deeply, knowing that's okay. I went into mental health after hearing your stories and the impact you had on others. I knew this was coming but not having you here is still hard. Just knowing you were here and having your presence was such a good feeling. I loved all the times together, including the trips and sleepovers with just the 3 of us. You were always so close when I was growing up, both physically and emotionally. Like I've said many times, you were a father figure that I admired. Give Grandma all my love. You'll be missed, but I will try my best to honor the lessons you taught me. Love you Pops.

So many great memories! Rest In Peace my friend!
Gary and Judy Balch

Dad you'll never know how much you meant to me and all the life lessons humanity loving caring morals that you taught me I want to call or see you one more time an here voice and end our conversation same way we always did with a kiss on your forehead and saying that I love you Buddy

Lorrie and family: I am very sorry for your loss. I didn't know your father, but he sounds like a wonderful man who I am sure will be dearly missed by all of you. My thoughts and prayers and with you.

Sending my deepest condolences to all of his loved ones. I had the privilege of knowing Duane the 3 years I worked at brookdale and he made such a positive impact in my life. Any bad day I was having he would come in the dining room and instantly put a smile on my face with talks about becoming a nurse along with anything else we could talk about. He was truly the kindest soul and I'll miss him and his humor so much.

Lorrie and family,

So sorry to hear of your loss. Lots of love and prayers heading your way. I hope many, many happy memories of your father fill you with love and solace in this difficult time.

Love,
Ryan, Grant, and Camille
