If you ask his family and friends, they tell you that Duck is a one-of-a-kind.  A strong and caring man who will move mountains to help a friend in need.  He can be trusted; he can be depended on to be there in an emergency.  To fix a fence, dig a well, flip a hamburger.  Call The Duck, and he’ll be there (if he’s not out fishing, of course).

Duck is unique.  A passionate advocate for issues in which he believes, and a source of giggles to his grandchildren (three so far) whenever “Papa Duck” is around. Satisfied smiles on the faces of his peers, reporters who cover the waterfront, and his many friends who are always ready to share another Duck tale with whoever asks.
