Duane became one of the first Honda Automobile Dealers in the nation when Honda began importing cars in 1971. He opened the Acura Dealership in Fife in 1986. Even though he achieved much success as a businessman, he remained humble and unassuming with a great sense of humor. His focus of interest was family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his son, Burke Hinshaw in 1998. He is survived by his wife, Betty Hinshaw of Sumner; son Paul Hinshaw of Federal Way; daughter Gayl Hinshaw of Auburn; 7 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, all of whom love him and miss him very much.
