Sad News - Duke in Florida (a.k.a. Duke in Maine) Won't be Down for Breakfast

[EddieCoyle]

Duke in Florida (previously known as Duke in Maine - real name Orville Deutchman) passed away this morning after a long battle with multiple myeloma.

He was great contributor here, and a very generous guy - giving his time, effort, supplies, and money to get the bullet casting seminars started back in the day.

He was a good guy, and I'll miss him.

Damn. That is sad. He fought like hell. I met up with him for a while in Maine to aquire a bucket of linotype. Definitely a wealth of knowledge that is archived if you do some digging. RIP Orville.

I took his reloading class, great guy all around, he will be missed but not forgotten. RIP Duke.

Really tough losing a beloved member of the 2A community. We never met in person but his reloading and casting expertise helped provide a source for techniques in a casting seminar I attended last year. For that I appreciate him and wanted to pay my respects. Rest in peace.

I only knew him from casting questions on line. Funny,based on that you would never know he was sick.
Godspeed
