Duane graduated from Montello High School in 1955. He worked in Milwaukee where he was employed at Badger Die Casting until moving back to Montello in 1973. He was employed by Wil-Kil Pest Control for many years. In his younger years, he was an avid baseball player and was well-known in the Montello and Milwaukee areas as a great pitcher. He also enjoyed basketball, golf, hunting, ping pong, billiards, many special family trips, boating and teaching many family and friends how to water ski, including his 70-yr-old mother-in-law. His favorite pastimes were watching sports on TV and fishing off his pier. Duane & Alice enjoyed spending the winter months with their son in Las Vegas and their daughter and family in Colorado where Duane was a big fan at his grandchildren’s sporting events.
