OSCEOLA - Duane G. Null, 64, of Osceola, passed away from an extended illness early Saturday morning, April 12, 2008, in Hospice House, South Bend. Duane was born on September 7, 1943, in Mishawaka, to the late Harold and Beatrice (Schieber) Null. A brother, Dean Null, also preceded him in death.

Duane married the former Faith Louise Fry on March 16, 1963, in Edwardsburg, MI. Duane and Faith Louise just celebrated 45 years of trust and commitment to each other, a month ago this past March. Surviving are his wife, Faith Louise, and their two children, Bob (Becky) Null of Indianapolis, IN, and Scott (Patty) Null of Granger, IN. Duane was a loving and caring grandfather to eight grandchildren, Chelsea, McKenzie, Olivia, Steven, Alex, Carter, Edward and Jacqueline Null. Also surviving are two sisters, Virginia and Dorla Null, both of Mishawaka. Duane retired 21/2 years ago as a custodian from Jimtown High School. He was a member of Grace Community Church in Mishawaka. Duane's hobby was being an avid E-Bay browser, a collector of Indian artifacts, and an artist and, along with his wife, the two were metal detector enthusiasts. Duane was proud of his children and grandchildren most of all.
