I will always remember Duke Hanna. My father (Arnold "Gabby" Bethel) spoke very well of him as a long time friend. Even after my father died while I was in college, Duke Hanna met with me and offered me employment in the music industry in Nassau. He seemed to want to help however he could. Now, I pray for his wife and children during their time of bereavement. May GOD bless you and comfort your hearts.
