Doc was a great friend and will be greatly missed. His unique laugh always brought a smile to my face. I loved him like a brother, and still do. His passing is a great loss to everyone who knew him. My heart felt prayers go to his family, who he loved dearly and often spoke about. Rest In Peace Doc.

Although we only met one time, I feel like we have known you much longer. Our friend Cricket showed us all the places you both shared with laughter and love behind every great adventurer, posted on her facebook account. You were the perfect couple and we are proud to say we have known you. You have contributed your love and life to places beyond measure. May your journey to the heavenly places be as adventurous as you have been in your life. Your soul may have left this place but your memories remain on earth with all you touched. Carry on with your journey dear friend.

Doc was a loyal shipmate that I was blessed to meet when we served together on Cyprus. He was fun to be with, had a never ending sense of humor and fighting spirit that stayed with him to the very end! Keep smiling and we’ll meet again someday.

I had the honor and pleasure with working with Duane through a couple of disasters with the Red Cross. I appreciated his work ethic and his determination to get the job done and with a smile no less. He had a great smile.
My deepest sympathies to his entire family.

Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood;
For nothing now can ever come to any good.
W H Auden
