I called him "Leroy" we were neighbors and buddies since my teens. Duke chauffeured the neighborhood in his 1930's Ford, which didn't have brakes most of the time, Dad preached to us someone is going to get hurt, we loved that car. Dad ended up buying it from Duke to save our lives !! One night during Halloween; Duke and some other guys from the neighborhood was pilling everything they could find on our front porch.They thought we were asleep,, but we were watching them from inside. Dad went out back and shot off his rusty shot gun; Duke was the first one running down the road; didn't show his face for a couple days. Duke was always there if you needed him and loved by everyone. He and my Dad shared the same birthday Aug. 21st !! I will miss you "Leroy "
