I'm very sorry to hear that he passed on, but be comforted knowing that he's with Jesus now. Your all in our prayers, God's Grace be with you in this time of sorrow.

Duck left an impact on everyone that he met. He was a champion for LeFlore County youth and our area in general. I believe that all who have met him are better for having done so. He will be greatly missed. Our prayers are with the family during this time of extreme grief. With great sorrow and sympathy for your loss.

What a guy,,I never did make it over to his house to show the kids his "buffalo". Many times while framing houses, I'd visit with him, and he was just a super nice sincere guy,

Thank you all for sharing your memories about my grandpa. Not a day goes by that we don't think about him and we miss him more than words can express. If you have a funny story or any story about my grandpa feel free to share it will our family. We miss him and hope that we can carry on the things he showed us and that we always show love for others.
