Duane Hover RIP (Duane70GMC)

he was only 54, and died from diabetes

I just read through some of his posts, it's evident that those of us who didn't get to interact with him have missed out. Cool pictures too. The fact he was a nice guy comes through in his posts.
Diabetes sucks, I've lost a friend to it (31yrs old) and a father-in-law who I never got to meet (39yrs old). It blows..

respect
RIP D

It's odd, I live a quarter mile from where Duane lived, and find out about his passing online.

I guess that's waht happens when you travel a lot in your job, you lose touch with people.

I remember when he crashed his van and was ready to scrap it- I told him I knew where I could get a front clip cheap, but it would take a little time. As you all know, he brought his 70 back from the brink.

I have the bent dash from that, and using it to repair mine.

I had acquired a free parts van that had been in a farmers field for 25 years, it was full of raccoon droppings. I brought it home, and nicknamed it the 'coonpoop van' and cleaned it out, pulled the stuff I needed, and was going to scrap what was left. Duane saw it, and saw something in it I didn't. and took it off my hands. I remember how upset he was when it got towed away as a 'derelict vehicle'.

A belated RIP, Duane.

i/m another newer member , not getting a chance to know him , but as i/ve realized thru daily looking on here ,including looking for help as many greats and girls , on here i/m sure after seeing threads of his , he was one of the best people that i missed oppurtunity to meet .
I will say a prayer for his salvation in relationship w/ God , and for Gods light to somehow reach someone thru Duanes death .

1 Peter 1:3-9

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, who are being protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you rejoice,* even if now for a little while you have had to suffer various trials, so that the genuineness of your faith—being more precious than gold that, though perishable, is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed. Although you have not seen* him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and rejoice with an indescribable and glorious joy, for you are receiving the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”

i'm new but I sense a great deal of loss. i feel for all.
