I was saddened to hear of Duck's passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to all the loving family that he has left behind. Duck was a great friend of my now deceased husband, Greg and me. We helped Duck begin his adventure into his South Carolina life. We had a lot of great times together in Berkley County. I'm glad Duck left this life as a better man, and I'm sure his ole buddies were there at the gate to greet him!
