I am so very sorry for your loss. Duane was such a wonderful kind man who will be dearly missed. I will never forget his smile, sense of humor and how kind he and Jan have been to me as i went through college and worked at the Humane Society. He truly was an amazing man who cared so much about everything and everyone. Prayers to your family in this difficult time.
