Saddened by Passing

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD), Duncan Energy Partners L.P.

and took Enterprise Products Partners public in July 1998.
“The
entire Enterprise family mourns the unexpected passing of Dan Duncan who will be
truly missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family,” said
Michael A. Creel, Enterprise president and chief executive officer.
A
visionary leader, perhaps Mr. Duncan’s most enduring legacy is that of being one of
our country’s great supporters of medical research. Through his
generous financial commitments to the Baylor College of Medicine, Texas
Children’s Hospital, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston,
and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Mr. Duncan was committed to ensuring that
Houston remains a leader in the field of medical research, treatment and
prevention of cancer. Mr. Duncan is survived by his wife, Jan, four
children and four grandchildren.
The chief
executive officers of Enterprise Products, Enterprise GP Holdings and Duncan
Energy, Mr. Creel, Ralph S. Cunningham, and Richard H. Bachmann, respectively,
will continue to serve in their roles. There is no change planned in
the ownership or management of the respective partnerships.
