Duane was a very talented man. I worked closely with him for about 7 years in the Service/Warranty Department. He was very knowledgable concerning the electrical parts of the pivot and was always very eager to help everyone. He would play his guitar sometimes over our lunch hour which we would all enjoy. Duane had a talent of making us all feel good whenever we would be down. He will be missed by many.

How sad we all were at the Mid Nebraska Lutheran Home to hear of Duane's passing. We did not realize how sick Duane was. He will be greatly missed-we looked forward to his music and jokes. He made us laugh and gave us an afternoon of fun each time he visited us. Our sincere sympathy to Mary and all the family. Goodbye Duane and thank you for the memories.

Mzry Ellen, the Kinzer Kids and the Thiem family. We have so many wonderful memories that include Duane and his singing and story telling. We will truly miss him when the "Old Fogies" on the Starosik side get together. Duane's smiling face and laughter will always be in our hearts. Now we have to share him with Our Heavenly Father as another angel. He will be watching over us now. Love and Prayers Rita and Don (Mary's sister and brother-in-law).

Dearest Mary and Family, We were so sadden to hear of your loss of such a loving and giving man. Duane and and my late husband, Veryl, were such good friends and co-workers. Duane could always make us smile and his music could brighten the darkest days. May he always be remembered in your heart. With love and heartfelt sympathy, Mary Anne.

Thanks to everyone who shared a story or sympathy for our loss of Dad. I know how many lives he touched through either his music or just a smile that he had. A man's life can be measured not by how much he has, but by how much he helped those those around him. That is something dad used to say, and when I told him that the current boss I work for said something similar he said that I was lucky to work there. My Dad loved everyone and hated no one, and I thank you all for every thing. Mike Thiem.

Please accept our deepest condolences regarding the death of your beloved Duane. I (Julie)used to work at Lindsay Manufacturing about 10 years ago and knew Duane fairly well. He was a wonderful man and will be greatly missed. We pray for Duane and your entire family during this terrible time and may the Lord bless you all.
