Hmmm I didn’t get any candy-but always a joke.from Duane before he left…. :). Always enjoyed him stopping in to say Hello – and a laugh as he left… I too from Elrosa, so we had some common interests… Sending my deepest condolences to the family…So sorry of your loss.
Our condolences to RoseAnn and family. Duane always had a smile on his face and a handshake to offer – which often included a piece of candy he gave to the lucky recipient! It was a joy to sit by him during Mass and often hear his hearty laugh. May he rest in peace!
