  2. I was so sorry to hear of Duane’s (we always called him Sonny) passing away. He was my cousin on his mother’s side. His Mother & my Dad, Roy Lucken, were siblings. Even though it has been about 20 years since I last saw him, I remember how fun he was, always happy & laughing. He and your Mom used to come visit my family in Morris when I was still in high school & we always looked forward to their visits. Somewhere I have a great picture of them on one of those visits. Sending my deepest sympathy in the loss of your Dad.

  3. Please accept my condolences. We grew up together, and I lived with Bessie and Duane (Sonny) for a short time. To his great joy he is now re-united with Rachel, the love of his life. Rest easy, cousin.
