My sympathies to the family. I was a classmate of Duke at Bloom. We were on the baseball team together. We shared some memories at the reunion. Great guy, will be missed.

Duke
The world's a pooer place with your passing. I remember the two years we worked for Bob Lueder and CHPD at Small Fry & CHAA parks. I valued your friendship then and although life's happenings sent us on different paths, I have always looked back at the time we had, fondly. Rest easy, brother. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
