Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. This is one of the most difficult things we must face in this life. May it comfort you to know that others are deeply touched by your loss. But the bible assures us at Psalms 34:18 that God is near to those broken in heart and those crushed in spirit he saves. He also promises that we will be able to see our loved ones again. Jesus own words found at John 5:28,29 tells us there will be a resurrection. What a wonderful hope! He also promises that soon on the earth there will be no more pain, suffering and especially death. Revelation 21:3-5 We anxiously await the day when we will no longer lose those we love. May these bible thoughts bring you comfort at this most difficult time.

I had the privilege of meeting and working with Mr. Duarte when I had my first radio job at KVOZ A.M. Mr. Duarte's evening show ("Serenata Nocturna"), would start with an instrumental version of "Green Eyes", then his soothing voice and tempered delivery would ease listeners into an evening's worth of great Spanish language music. I admired his style very much and tried to emulate it when I eventually became an on-air announcer. I also looked to him as a gentleman's gentleman. Mr. Duarte was extraordinarily humble, unassuming and kind ....a dear man and beautiful soul.... God bless him. May his family find peace in knowing that he made so many people happy in his lifetime.

My condolences to all the Duarte family. I worked with Luciano at KVOZ radio in the 60's and 70's and have the fondest memories of him. When I first joined the station I reported the news at 10 pm immediately following his program and then presented "Music in the Night". Luciano was always a gentlemen and a master of his music. He had a huge following on the radio. Luciano and I did a number of remote broadcasts together and he translated and recorded my commercials into Spanish to air on his program. For some reason 30 second English commercials always turned out to be 40 second Spanish commercials. But my clients loved it! I was sorry to hear about his passing, but will always have wonderful memories of him. Mike Rooney
