Our sympathy to the family’s he was a good guy RIP Duane.
I’m truly going to miss my old buddy “Bubbaloo”. He was one of a kind. I have a lot of fond memories with Dewey and his son DJ and my brothers deer hunting. Dewey was always the life of the party whether it was playing softball at Howard’s Lounge or spending time at Devils Lake with him and Joyce and their friends. He was just fun to be around. I always enjoyed all the stories about his family, especially his (wild brothers). To him it was about family. Dewey was quite the prankster, I’m sure you all have had him play a prank or two on you. You could not be around Dewey without him making someone laugh! I’m really going to miss that! I know Sandy and I have met a lot of nice people thru knowing Dewey and I know he would want us all to stay in touch with each other so please do. Good bye old friend for now. Tom Bommersbach
Thank you everyone I will miss my dad
He was good friend and co worker. He loved to have fun.
He was tough on me at times. I learned so much. Didn’t know it at the time, but now those lessons are still in place. Thankful for the opportunity and knowledge he gave me. God bless him and family.
Rest in peace cousin Dewey…you’ve always had a special place in the hearts of my
parents and family. Filling the room with your spirit, laughter, humor, and sincere
regard for those around you. Rest in peace and make sure you’re riding that Harley
on your new journey with the Lord.
He used to make me laugh all the time when he used to come into Leevers in Grand Forks.
He will be missed greatly!
