Duane was very health conscious and focused on his nutrition and working out.

In addition to his many accomplishments in the medical field, he built one of the first geodesic dome homes in the Midwest. Duane was a member of the Island Bay Yacht Club, Springfield Motor Boat Club, and the American Podiatric Medical Association.
