_ . Born in Bonnyville, Alberta,  Duncan passed away peacefully in Delta, BC . Duncan joined the Royal Canadian Navy in 1954, completing officer training at HMCS Venture. He left the navy in 1961 then pursued a career in masonry and construction. An automobile accident in 1966 left Duncan a paraplegic, but this certainly didn't stop him. Upon release from the rehab centre, he advertised his skills for employment and thus began a very successful career with A&A Plumbing and Heating, first as an employee then as part owner. In the late '80's Duncan retired to a life of his idea of leisure; first building a house in Whistler and later renovating a cabin on Gabriola. Duncan is survived by his mother, Annie, his siblings Bob and Joanne, and his daughters Tracey and Kim. Tracey and Kim would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Craig Martin and the many health services professionals of Delta. In lieu of flowers please send donations to the Delta Hospital Foundation, the Rick Hansen Man in Motion Foundation, or your local Humane Society.
