I met Duane in 2006 at Firebag site North of Fort McMurray. Didn't take long to realize what an outstanding man he was. If it had wheels or tracks he made runnimg it look easy and during non work hours he only improved on that realization.
He was one if a kind and the world is a lesser place without him.
Thoughts are with all of the Engman family at this time.
