Hi Uncle Duke just wanted to say thanks for the many things you taught me about gardening and little ways life can be interesting and fun even during the worst times. Thanks for teaching me how to pinch every cent and for giving me the exact amount of $ that matched my age every birthday. Sorry I couldn't get up to see you when you passed away but NO one bothered to tell me you were even ill. To anyone who didn't know this Duke grew up in Oswego not Syracuse. He and Gramma Eva Marie Buckley moved to Seneca Knolls with the John & Eleanor Nolan around 1970's. Duke walked around with a wagon picking up cans to keep the areas clean making money was his bonus! Duke loved gardening and was very great at it! You are missed greatly by me and this land. Thanks for coming to live with us!!
