An avid outdoorsman, he enjoyed motorcycles, camping, hunting, and fly fishing with good friends. Duane was instrumental in beginning the recreation in Seagull Bay.

Duane was both inventive and talented, and could fix or modify anything; his natural mechanical ability was enhanced by the Idaho State University Vocational Technical courses. His knowledge of current events made for exciting conversations.
