I've already posted my condolences, and have shed a tear or two for Duanes passing. However, I went back through some of his posts and found this one. I think it is the way I want to remember Duane, always ready to crack a joke and trying to make someone else smile a little.
A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf.....Of course,
the wife promptly whacked her first shot right through the window of the
biggest house adjacent to the course.
The husband cringed, "I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go
up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is
going to cost us."
So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm
voice said, "Come on in."
When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was
all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side
near the broken window.
A man reclining on the couch asked, "Are you the people that broke my
window?"
"Uh...yeah, sir. We're sure sorry about that," the husband replied.
"Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you... You see,
I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years.
Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll
give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one
for myself."
"Wow, that's great!" the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted
out, "I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life."
"No problem," said the genie. "You've got it, it's the least I can do.
And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!" "And now you, young lady,
what do you want?" the genie asked.
"I'd like to own a gorgeous home complete with servants in every country
in the world," she said.
"Consider it done," the genie said. "And your homes will always be safe
from fire, burglary and natural disasters!"
"And now," the couple asked in unison, what's your wish, genie?"
"Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle and haven't been with a
woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your
wife."
The husband looked at his wife and said, "Gee, honey, you know we both
now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?" She mulled
it over for a few moments and said, "You know, you're right. Considering
our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?"
"You know I love you sweetheart," said the husband. I'd do the same for
you!"
So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of
the afternoon enjoying each other in every way. After about three hours
of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes
and asked, How old are you and your husband?"
"Why, we're both 35," she responded breathlessly.
"NO KIDDING!!!" He said, "Thirty-five years old and both of you still
believe in genies?"

Thanks everyone for your kind words. It means alot knowing dad had some good friends on here and that he was a great guy. I will miss his sense of humor too.
As for his truck, it will remain in the family. Dad left it with the valve covers off, a broken fuel line, and a loose distributor. But by the end of the day, my brother and I had it running again. My brother took it back with him to Washington state, so he can fix it up like how dad would want it. I'll have to make sure I get pics of his progress.
Here is a poem we used in my dad's Memorial Cards that I have to share with you....
To Those I Love And Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do--
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a little that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on;
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near,
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All of my love around you--soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone
I'll greet you with a smile and "Welcome Home".Ted
