I am so saddened to just read about the passing of my best friend in junior high and high school, Duke Higgason. We both played trumpet together in the band with Duke playing his Leblanc trumpet and I playing my Selmer trumpet. We both had identical honda 50 motorbikes which gave us so much freedom as young boys. I have great memories of both of us camping out in his tent in the back yard of his home in Houma as well as studying together before tests. I loved Duke as a brother and thought about him many times over the years that have passed. He was a good man and friend. His mother was so kind and loving as well as his two sisters. I am so very sorry for their loss.
Thank you so much Gary. He told me about you. He called you his best friend to. This is his daughter Shamala. I miss him so much. Just glad I got to spend a lot of time with him the last 6 months before he passed away.
Shamala, Thank you so much for letting me know. I wish I could have seen Duke once again along with his family and wish we could have kept in touch. I will always remember Duke as the closest friend I ever had. I will never forget such a good man and friend.
