Duane was born on October 11, 1934, the 3rd son of Barbara (Kelley) and Allen Sherman.  He was a

high school graduate, earning his GED after going to work full time at Oldsmobile.  He completed 

many courses offered through work to increase his job skills.  On April 6, 1952, he married Roberta

Bruno.  They celebrated 72 years of marriage on April 6, 2024.  Duane proudly served in the National

Guard.  He worked for 40 years in supervision of data processing at Oldsmobile and later EDS.  He

was proud of his career and worked hard to be promoted and earn recognition for his dedicated work

ethic.  Duane was an avid golfer and loved the competitiveness of the game.  He kept his lawn and

gardens beautifully manicured and enjoyed being outside working.  He was always building or

improving something around his home.  He believed in taking care of what he had and his hard work

showed. Each summer he would swear that this was his "last big project" until the next summer when

he came up with a new one.  Above all, Duane loved and cared for his family.  He was fiercely proud

of all of them.

Duane is survived by his loving wife of 72 years and full time caregiver for the last several years, Bobbi; 

son, D. Michael Sherman (Audrey); daughter, Deborah Beason (John); grandchildren, Jason 

Sherman (Mandi), Gretchen Thompson (Ken), Abbie Kidder (Jonathan), Michael Striler (Faith), Chip

Sherman (Stephanie), Kyle Striler; 9 great grandchildren; one sister, Joy Hunt; and one brother, Dennis

Sherman (Tawni).

Duane was preceded in death by his parents; brothers Ken, Doug, and Bruce; and most beloved aunt and 

uncle Doris and Max Kelley.
