Terry Egan wrote a sympathy message

“It's impossible to describe the gift of Duke's friendship, his profound kindness and generosity to me. How to share the joy & laughter (exasperation with each other sometimes produced belly laughs!), his artistry and history. Sports, Nature, Books, Navy stories, Jeopardy. His hugs when I cried. It was an honor to have his friendship, to have him in my chosen family. Dance your drum dance, my friend. My home, heart and mind is forever enriched because I knew you.”
