Duane was a very outgoing, fun loving, hardworking, dad, brother and grandfather who so enjoyed spending time with his family. Whether it was going to Crouse’s for breakfast with his son Paul to pulling his grandsons, Dalton and Cole, behind his bike on the trails to running 5ks with his daughter Anne. He was always there for his family and went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and felt the love of his whole heart.
Duane served 4 years in the United States Air Force where he trained in civil engineering in Duluth Minnesota. He married in 1957, to Judith Pace and they had 2 children, Paul Duane and Anne, with an E, Marie. They moved to Indianola in 1967 and have lived in Indianola since.
Duane owned the SuperAmerica gas station before becoming a rural mail carrier for USPS where he retired in 2003.

With his dry sense of humor and sarcasm, he always made people laugh and he will be so missed by his family and friends
