Duane E. Hurd died on Saturday, February 2, 2019 at Angels Grace Hospice, Oconomowoc, at the age of 87. He was born on August 2, 1931, in Marinette, Wisconsin, the son of Walter and Bessie (nee Kaempf). 

He was a 1949 graduate of Marinette High School. Duane served in the United States Navy from January, 1950 to November 10, 1953. Following his discharge  from the Navy, he moved to Waukesha where he worked at National Advertising, Industrial Clutch, Waukesha Foundry, and then for Wisconsin Electric Power Co. for 37 years, retiring on September 1, 1993 as Line Foreman (crew leader). 

He enjoyed many activities with his family. He loved the outdoors, enjoyed hunting, fishing and loved to travel anywhere in and outside of the United States.  Duane loved boating on any lake he could find.  He held a private Pilot’s license and flew as often as possible.
