Duane Simmons, Mr. Onan, Passed this afternoon from an apparent blood clot. He was recovering well from his nerve affliction.
Duane was a close friend of mine and a great asset to the GMC community.
Pleas give the family time to absorb this sudden passing.

Sad indeed. I'm shocked as I just spoke with him recently and he sounded
more like his old self. He and Billie were looking forward to making the
rallies again.
Glad I got to be with him at Pueblo a couple a years ago.
I'll miss Duane. He was a good friend.

Very sad news indeed Frank.
The community, like Billy, has lost one of it's best.

One of the best epitaphs I've ever read was approximately: "From the lovely
necklace of life, the shining jewels slowly drop away". It seems especially
applicable to Duane.

Sorry to hear of this loss. How much more common will it become that we grab the phone to ask a question and then catch ourselves...
We all need to listen closely to what these guys teach us. You never know, we might be the next number down someone's list who needs help.

Sadness falls when we hear that another wonderful person has moved on from the community.
This is heart felt news, my thoughts to everyone.

I have known Duane for about 10years. He was always very personable and willing to help anyone who had a need. The first time we met he helped me get my Onan straightened out. Then when I restored the Kingsley he was right in the middle of helping me get my 2 new holding tanks. He was right there watching to make sure all the fittings I needed were spun into the tanks, in the right places. I know I am going to miss him.
