Looking at the picture now while typing this I cant believe we will never see this wonderful man again, a truly great man who we and others will miss more than words can say.

I was deeply shocked to learn of his death today; even more surprised that I learnt of it so late but I don't watch the news. The tributes are in no way exaggerated - he was a good guy through and through. My deepest sympathies to Sharon and the girls. He will be greatly missed by all. Jude McAlister

I am just a humble citizen of the UK , but my thanks go out to Duane , thank you my hope is that you are now in a place where war is a thing of the past, and that you are now living a peaceful life.

Not that we need a day like today to remember such a splendid man but still ever more meaningful..

You know how much you mean to me and my family, thankfully and at least for taht l am greatful.

20.02.2009 : Paula Barwood wrote Well, it is almost a year since we lost my brother Duane. There is not a day that goes by that we don't remember him. He is always in our hearts and minds. He was a fantastic big brother. It is still hard to believe that he is gone. When we were growing, he used to be so patient. He always had time for his 'little sister'. I miss him very much, but I am glad that I have so many happy memories of him.
