Duane A. Lenyard 9/6/1959 - 3/17/2001

Duane "went home" as he prayed to do.

He died peacefully, and at peace - at home, as he wished.

He was a casualty of AIDS. He loved and was loved.

Duane's favorite TV show was "Touched by an Angel"

He was a tremendous cook - with an uncanny instinct for what ingredients would go together.
He loved dogs and they loved him. He was easy to talk to about anything.
He cared about people.

He leaves a hole filled with good memories.
