I knew Duane for a long time. He was such a kind man and always had a smile. He was always willing to help someone out with his business. He will be missed greatly. Sorry for your loss.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Duane’s family during this time. Love, Paula, Gerald, Isabelle, and Angelina Wolf
My deepest sympathy. If I had a problem with a washer, dryer, garbage disposal, etc. I’d call Duane. He was always honest and reliable and a great person to talk to. He will be missed.
Duane will be greatly missed by all! He always had an answer for our plumbing, heating and electrical problems with a smile and fair price! My sincere sympathy to Eunice and family. Sincerely, Diane Bachinski
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Eunice and family. So sorry to learn of Duane’s passing. Lester and Ruth Olson were my parents. Thinking of you.
I am so sorry for your loss Eunice. I volunteered for years selling meat raffle tickets at the VFW in West Fargo. Duane would be playing a little blackjack and you would buy raffle tickets. I so enjoyed seeing you every time I was there. He was such a nice guy with such a nice wife. I hope all of your wonderful memories are tucked away so he will be with you forever. Take Care and God Bless
So sorry to hear of Duane’s passing. Remember him from the old days at West Prairie Church. My sympathies to all in his family
