Duncan leaves to cherish his memory, his daughters Amanda Ho Warren , Bethany Moore Jason , grandchildren Augusta and William, mother Dorothy, brother Dan Ester , nephews, aunts, cousins, family and friends. Duncan was predeceased by his wife Linda , sister Debbie , and father Harris Duncan was a self-taught professional musician, excelling in guitar, keyboard and accordion.
Duncan's love of the accordion was nurtured by his Aunt Margaret Murray. Over the next five decades Duncan self taught himself the guitar, playing in prominent bands including the Mongrels, Dianne Heatherington and the Merry-Go-Round, St. Music was a mainstay throughout Duncan's life.
Over the past 20 years Duncan was passionately involved with the Winnipeg Spiritualistic Church, holding the position of Reverend for the past seven years. Duncan's love of animals was reflected in his love for his dogs and his involvement in small animal rescue. The family gives thanks to Susan Smith, Janine Gregorash, and the many friends who rallied and assisted Duncan through his difficult journey.
Special thanks to Sandra and the wonderful nurses and Doctors of the St. Boniface Palliative Care Unit. A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, June 4, at p. Joey Gregorash officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a small animal rescue group or St. Boniface Hospital Palliative Care. Memorial Service will be held on Monday, June 4, at p. Longer obituary to follow in Saturday's edition. I happened to be browsing people and places from my Hometown of Winnipeg when I came across this memoriam.
I am sorry to hear of Duncan's passing, he and Linda were booking agents for us back in the 80's, and he was a caring and solid friend. He often derided me for my lifestyle and I eventually became sober.
