Thank you Duane for just being there, setting examples, good and bad, and for being a good friend. You were there to teach me how to drive, how to iron, how to cook, how to balance my checkbook, and how to bail your ass out of jail from time to time. You were my friend and I will miss you.

i've always been impressed by june and andrew's life-long friendship with duane. i really feel like his presence in their home helped shape him into an extra-cool person, a loyal friend, and in the long run, probably a better father to AJ. that third photo of duane and june laughing really says it all.

so to duane: rest in peace, brothah. you are quite obviously loved and missed!
