Duncan enjoyed many hobbies and outdoor activities to include gardening, traveling, swimming, and time near any water or beach. His one stand-out passion though was golf. He was never one to turn down a round with his many friends and colleagues and played his final rounds just days before his death.

Duncan was a stellar example of what a father, grandfather, and friend should be. His unrelenting and timeless love for his family and friends was always apparent and without prejudice. He was loved and admired by many, and his memory will certainly be everlasting to all that knew him.

A Celebration of his Life for family and friends will be held at his home at 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 7^th, 2016.
