Duward was an electrical engineer by training and worked at Andrews and Blue M Electric. At one point he also co-owned Bare's Radio and Television store at 142nd and Indiana Ave. in Riverdale. He repaired radios and televisions in the back and sold records in the front of the store.

He was very interested in the workings of the mind and the world around him. He loved to think and talk about reincarnation, love, time, and anything that piqued his interest.

He and Vera moved to Lynwood later and then, after Vera passed, he lived in Lansing, Illinois. The final years of his life were spent near his daughter in DeKalb, Illinois. Duward died at the age of 91. He and his wife are buried in a cemetery in Homewood, Illinois.
