Thanks so much for posting this!!! I along with many others loved Duck and grieved deeply. I still visit his grave at Jeff at least twice each year. That was one of the most sad times I have ever experienced. I had read this article at the time but never had the foresight to keep it. Thanks again for posting this!! Big Duck (Hershel) is on Facebook as is his daugher Delena Combs. He is alive and well. Thanks again for posting this!!! His death was a terrible loss and I still think of him very often!
