Hi Everyone, There will be a Celebration of Life for the Duke on the 19th of February, Saturday at 1pm It will be held at the Upper Valley Aviation hangar which is at 8406 Lockheed Place in Chilliwack.

Yesterday, Les was surrounded by his wife Kathy, daughter Anna and Tim, my husband Keith and I, and Les’s very good friend Terry. His daughter Meghan was in Ottawa and spoke to him several times on the phone. He had already gently slipped into a coma earlier in the day and while asleep was never alo...

I had to copy this letter from another forum to this thread because I was so in awe of it, but also because the thread I had started when Avcanada was down, was lost and even though Duke hasn't written in awhile he is able to read and enjoy your comments!

Count me in Duke! I'm there in a heartbeat!
