I had the pleasure of working with Duane for 8 years. Duane made friends easy and it showed with all the customers from coast to coast who would only want to talk to Duane. He was dedicated, kind and just a good soul. He will be missed by his friends, by his church and by his co-workers. My condolences to Duane's' family and friends.
