On behalf of Local 1285, I want to express our condolences to Duke's family. He was a dedicated family man and union member. It was an honor to work with him for the past 10 years. He will be greatly missed, especially when the Christmas party comes around.

Dear Kathy, Michele and Michael
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
When I first met Duke at work, he put out his hand and with a big smiling face said:"I'm Robert Reed, but you can call me Duke." From that day on he has left a lasting impression on me as well as on others.
He had the gift to be able to talk with everone from Funeral Directors, Monument Dealers and especially to family members who were at the Cemetery, visiting their love one. After talking to Duke, they left smiling.
On the days Duke was not working, everyone would ask: "Where's Duke?" The looked forward to talking with him.
He truly will be missed by all.
May the Good Lord take him in his arms, comfort him and grant him Eternal Peace.

Kathy and Michele:
My condolences to you both. I will always remember Duke being so helpful when we were on Jefferson Avenue and during the loss of my own Dad "Chick". He was a gentle soul and always looked out for us. He was a special man.
