Dear Duke
Am happy that you have slipped the surly, and painful, bonds of earth and know now that you soar on laughter-silvered wings.
May Creator/God bless you - thank you for being an inspiration for so many. I do hope someone will arrange the publication of your "tales" ... the era in which you flew will never come again.
Tonight, like many nights, I have a tealight candle lit in memory of those dear to me and, if it doesn't seem presumptuous, I will include you there.
I kept looking to this thread today as I felt when I woke this morning that you had been taken by Creator to the airfield in the sky ... and as this means that you are now free from pain, I am glad to learn you have passed.
Love and light to your family and friends left behind.
Thank you again for your wonderful stories and for your life.
luv brockie
