My thoughts and prayers go out to Duane’s family, especially his wife Pam.
I first met Duane back in the early 90’s when he worked for Bell Plumbing. I’ve worked around him several times through the years. Always smiling and cutting up. He’s one of the good guys. Rest In Peace.
Thoughts and prayers are with the family
Gonna miss you, Fred.
