Dear Barbara & family, I wish to extend my condolences to you and the family at a time of grief and mourning. It is a time we all need to band together to share in these moments to support each other. Love, Anna

My deepest condolences to the Peters family. Duke was a wonderful kind hearted and very funny man. Anytime I was in his company he always put a smile on my face. He will be deeply missed and will be in my prayers and thoughts always.

Guys,

I'm so sorry. Although it may not feel like it now, you were all so very lucky to have 6113 Jefferson as your "go to" place. Uncle Duke was always there - and he helped build a big beautiful family.

Cassie & I were looking on her facebook over the holidays and came across some of your holiday pics. You can tell just by looking at everyone's face that you were having a good time and really had fun in

You just needed to go to 1 graduation party to see how big his "family" became. For as far back as I can remember - friends were family and were always welcome - they got the wisecrack remarks just as much as his own family !!!

I'll always remember your house fondly - it was part of my own childhood. When I draw from own memories and experiences - Uncle Duke is there for many of them - and I'm lucky to have had him there.

Love, Laura
