To Mom, Lorae, Philco and the entire family my deepest condolences.
I have loved Ducky as I have my own brothers since our early childhood.  Our bond has never been broken and we continued to enjoy our friendship thorughout our lifetime. We cherished our memories of family and friends and often spent hours filled with laughter and at times deep reflection and gratitude for how full and blessed our lives have been. We treasured the influences and values that our familes, friends and people around us (Our Village) instilled in us. Those influnces and values enabled us to confront and overcome our personal chalenges throughout our lives. And although my heart is broken because of the loss of my dear brother, friend and confidant– my faith is in God and I know his soul resides in a better place and he is now in the glorious company of our families and friends who have gone before us.  I beleive that we will all someday be together again. And until we meet again Ducky’s  memory will remain sacred in me and never fade. May He Rest in Peace… and May God Grant You Grace, Mercy and the Strenghth to endure during this time of berievement.
With Love, Greg Hyson

I befriended a lovely man several years ago when he was visiting his mother, Rainy, who was my neighbor. Ducky & l shared a similar origin story; we were both African American, had history and family in the same region (l was born in Harrisburg, PA,) were from large, loving families, had interesting careers, similar political outlooks , liked to dress up, and enjoyed learning, laughing & having fun. When he was in NC in October 2025, we spent time together, walking around the campus & driving to areas close by. He will be missed – when he spoke about his mother, son, siblings and life, in general, he was so proud & pleased. Both of us had come to a comfortable place as new friends and when he left, l was looking forward to seeing him on his next visit. May he rest in eternal peace – l WILL see him again… Carolee Smith

Sending condolences from the Thomas Family. He was really good friends with my uncle Tap Thomas who passed away some years ago. I recently ran into him a few years ago while holding an event at the Lancaster Marriott. What a wonderful storyteller! Prayers of comfort to the family in the days ahead.
