I helped build and maintain Duff's first quarter midget. I was surprised and saddened to find that he had passed away. However, I was not surprised that he kept on racing. My sympathies go out to the daughters that he left behind. 

I miss you so much daddy.

Sterling,
Your Dad was my first boyfriend in school when he was in 8th grade and I was in 7th. I remember he raced 1/4 midget at the Lucas County Fair Grounds in Ohio and I would go there and watch him. He only went to my school for a brief time and where he went I never knew. I've searched his name a few times over the years but never came up with anything until now. I'm so sorry for your loss sweetie, your Dad was such a sweet man and had a heart that was kind. Finding this site made me very sad and for his children broke my heart!! I know he must have been a very good Daddy cause his heart was so kind!! He was a really good kid from what I observed when we were in school. If you don't mind sharing I would like to know what happened that took him from you too soon? My deepest regard for your loss, sweetie.

Sterling, I knew your Dad from racing quarter midgets. We use to hang out at the tracks. I was telling a girl about racing today at work and he came up I said I was going to look him up on facebook. I found this site. I was very sad to hear that he had passed but not surprised to see that he continued racing. I am so very sorry for your loss.
