Duane will be missed. I got to know him back in 2000 when he booked my brother and I, (The Johner Brothers) for a show. Great guy. Always giving and a pleasure to work with. You will be missed, but we will meet up again on the other side. Sincerely, Brad Johner.

During our posting in Lac La Biche we met some great people, Duane was certainly one of them. The kindness and generosity he showed Sharon and I will never be forgotten. He certainly made us feel welcome not only at the Inn, but in the community at all times. God Speed Duane.

Duane was a 'happening' guy! I will never forget his support and generosity when I started up and helped to raise money for the JAWS Huskies Football team. Who else would of said 'OK' to a donkey in the dinning room! J.K. Rowling wrote, "Death is the next great adventure." Duane, your next quest has only begun..... have fun! Pat Boon-Anderson

We are so sorry for your loss. We lived in LacLaBiche in the early 1980's and remember Duane fondly. We always appreciated his commitment to the town and the people living there. We loved coming to the hotel for lunch (and a beer on Saturday). Leanne is a good friend of our daughter and we were able, through her, to "follow" Duane and his work. He will be missed. Our thoughts are with the family at this difficult time.

We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Duane. Duane was a special friend and we kind of lost track of each other in the past 30 years. Duane will be missed by everyone who knew him. He left no stone unturned and was always on the go to better himself and everyone around him. Our condolences go out to the entire family and we are so sorry we cannot be with you in your time of sorrow. We are presently out of the country. Sending our love, Rick and Jean Lorenson.

I am very saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Duane. He was a family friend and a great guy, always friendly, always kind, always welcoming and so likeable. I was happy to have visited with him and his family last summer. From myself and on behalf of my mom, Martha Lorenson, I extend sincerest sympathies to all his family. You, along with so many people will have many fond and warm memories of this man to reminisce about and cherish for many years to come. Warm regards to all. Duane will be remembered and missed by many.

Sending condolences to DY's family. I moved to LLB as a 20 year old and proceeded to spend much of my evenings at the Inn. I will always remember DY chatting with everyone in the lounge, bar and restaurant and ALWAYS with that big bunch of keys attached to his hip. He was so generous to us young nurses and we often accompanied him on the bus to Oilers games. Man we had fun. He was a great guy with a big heart. Will miss you DY. Rest Easy. Debbie du Toit (Smith)

i am so very sorry to hear this news. My deepest condolences to the family. My late husband, Jimmy Mac (as he was known in Lac La Biche), met Duane in the 1970's when he came from the states to play baseball and they developed a lifelong friendship. I remember how Duane was so welcoming to me when we met, Years later, he flew down to attend my husband's funeral, which was so thoughtful and he gave me a beautiful blanket with the Canadian leaf logo on it which I cherish to this day.

And to be a part of the Dodgers sponsorship with him and others is something I will
cherish. His respect to the Aboriginal culture was second to none. DY was definately the "go to guy". God Bless you all. Rest In Peace our friend.
