Just a few short months ago Paul and I stopped by to see Tim, but he was out of town. Instead we drove up to the boat dock and I had the opportunity to meet two very wonderful people - Duke and Hazel. We spent the most lovely afternoon with the two of them; they made me feel like I was a part of their family, even though I had just met them hours earlier. Two weeks ago Paul and I dropped in again and we were invited to their family BBQ. I sat with Duke, talking with him about his recent trip to the Sierras, about his job, his family and many other topics. He was an amazing man - so caring, so kind and with a good sense of humor. I was shocked and saddened to hear he had passed away. I wish I had the opportunity to get to know him better as I very much enjoyed the little time I did spend with him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
