Knowing death comes to us all doesn't make the day any easier. I'm sorry for your loss.

Never easy to lose the one we willingly entrust with all of our secrets, fears, and vulnrabilities. RIP

Marcus, It was too sad to hear that the Duke will no longer ride with his FJR friends. But he did see more of the world than most people and he was the greatest "chick" magnet ever. He leaves us with great memories, and great videos as well. I know you're hurting and you have all our sympathy. RIP Duke and ride the skies with joy.

Singer song writer Jim Stafford, had the lyrics in a song, "why is it a dog doesn't get to live too long but still has to die old", is always with me. Sorry to hear about Duke's passing. Hopefully we will meet up with every dog we ever had some day. Take care, PM.

I still have the picture of Duke on my fridge that you sent me for naming the waterfall! I know it is a tough time, but you have so many memories with that little guy that will make him live on. Sorry I never got to meet him in person (or should it be "in dog"?). Give yourself suffiecient time to honor his memory and then go get a new companion. In my next life I want to come back as your dog. What a life!

R.I.P. Duke

I'm glad I got the chance to meet Duke, if but only the once. He always seemed to put a smile on the face of the people he encountered.

And of course he was the consummate chick-magnet!

Post number 99 and counting. Turns out, not surprisingly, that Duke was one of the most popular people on the forum. Hope that gives you a smile, Mark.
