Mpls - My dear brother Perry (Duke) died suddenly Christmas Day in Minnesota. He was the loved uncle (Unc) of Matthew and Annie. From Mpls. (Washburn '75) he spent 40 years living happily in Ohio. Duke was a quiet, gentle, sweet guy. A hardworking man all his life. He loved to laugh, socialize and enjoy time with his many friends, who loved him in return. He enjoyed snow skiing, snowmobiling, boating and water skiing. He truly enjoyed life. His legend will live on. He was a blessing to me, RIP. Memorial TBD.
