November 9, 1964 – March 16, 2020
IN THE CARE OF
Woody Funeral Home-Atlee Chapel
Herman H. Duke, Jr., 55, known by Herman, J.R. and Junior, died Monday, March 16, 2020. He is survived by his dad, Herman Duke, Sr.; his partner, Mary Borum; Lisa Duke; five children, Courtney Singleton, Jessica Duke, Megan Morman, Bobby Johnson and Braxton Borum; three granddaughters, Paislee and Lacie Singleton and Eva Morman.
He was best known for his love of baseball and fishing as a youth; learning plaster and drywall from his dad; to playing and teaching others the game of slow pitch softball. His knuckle ball pitching style was every batters’ nightmare. When his turkey ears heard the opposing team complaining about it, he went into the dugout smiling and laughing.
He never met a stranger and was always the life of the scene.
A Celebration of Life service will be conducted at a later date, day and time to be determined.
In lieu of flowers, please send a donation in memory of him to Virginia’s Non-game Wildlife Program at https://license.gooutdoorsvirginia.com. This program survives only by donations.
