The Duke was a 1 of a kind to be sure. Only guy I knew who regularly swam in the canals. Known for running backwards shirtless in the deqad of winter on Essex Street with a feather attached to his head. "King" of the
Cove at Forest Lake. Played against him at 45's tournament at French Social...he said that I didn'y look like a card player..ironic since we beat him and gis partner soundly that nightLast talked to him a few yrs. ago
this man....this man....a legend of lawrence. cause some chaos for my dad up there, if ya make it.,......your elevator may go up or down....jokes aside, funniest guy there was. He would take the shirt off his back, LITERALLY for you. he was always a caring, sarcastic, funny and loving man from what I knew of him.
Have known Joe 50 years. i gotta say, he did care about what was happening in Gr Lawrence. As a neighbor, he was ‘the king of Basswood St. He’d do almost anything if you needed help..He looked out for others. May he rest in peace. C. Brown (One of Margie’s kids)
