Just saw this and am very sorry for your loss. Enjoyed my time sitting around the hunting club dinner table discussing the past present and future with Duncan and Duncan jr and all the other guys. Always a pleasure seeing and hearing him get into it with a few of the fellas he had known for years. Haven´t seen him for a while but the time I knew him he always treated me as a friend and was always glad to see me. Made me feel a part of everything. Hope you all are doing well and you´re in my thoughts and prayers.

Duncan helped me out a lot in Solano County. I'm a farm advisor and Duncan was one of my first customers over the last 15 years. He always spoke the truth, shared knowledge he gained from his experience and was a very generous person. Sincerest condolences for families and friends' loss. The County has lost a great resource and freind.
