Duane was a person of strength and conviction. He was employed for over 35 years with the Federal Department of Agriculture, which took him to various communities in his native Manitoba, before he and Maureen transferred out to Surrey, BC in 1981. He was also an extraordinary hockey coach and player. His love for the game was well known and appreciated in the communities he resided in. He will be missed by all who knew him and those he touched with his quiet strength. A special, heartfelt thanks to Dr. Derrick Lowe, the Palliative Care team of White Rock Home Care, and Mila and her We Care staff. We could not have done it without you angels.
