Duane retired from farming operations in 1987. He continued his employment by operating equipment for the Hochhalter farms. Duane enjoyed a lifelong love of traveling, taking several trips to Alaska with his wife and visiting most of the 50 states. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and trapping. His favorite hobby was metal detecting, which he appreciated doing with his grandchildren. Duane took great pride in his grandchildren and enjoyed watching their sports activities.
