Sonny Garrido says
I first met Duane when he was assigned to FS 98
in 1973. He and C. J. Curtis were the Engineers on the
“A” shift. It was my first assignment as a young Civilian Ambulance Driver. There some animosity
towards Civilians in the fire station wearing FD Badges but were not Firemen. But Duane, C.J.,
Sumner Blaha, Duwayne Conner, Paul Orduna did not hold that grudge. I am still grateful to this day that they treated us in a professional and friendly manner. R.I.P. Duane and thank you.

You and C.G. Curtis were one of the greatest teams I ever worked with on the Fire department. Always gentlemen but always fun. Rest in peace Duane, Also thanks for sharing that daughters lovely voice!!
