Duane always enjoyed watching and following his favorite sports teams, the Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns and of course the mighty Ohio State Buckeyes!!!! His true favorite thing to do for relaxation time, was to be watching the Old Western movies. He immensely enjoyed getting together with his close group of "buddies." They shared lots of fun times and adventures together. He loved them all. Thanks, guys, for sharing Duane's life, as true friends to him. Another favorite pastime was keeping up on all his Nieces & Nephews sports and activities through the years. Duane was a very proud Uncle and Great-Uncle, and loved all his Nieces & Nephews greatly.
