Dunc

[Diane]

I've just read the wonderful comments here about my dad, Duncan, and am truly touched by how many people will miss him. It's a very hard time right now. My dad had not been ill and was with me on Tuesday afternoon. After not being able to get him on the telphone at 8.pm, Morris went up to check on him and found him on his bed after taking a massive heart attack.

I will miss my dad more than words can say and like everyone will miss his knowledge, his sense of humour and company. It is a huge hole. He certainly accomplished a lot over the last year or so and gave his heart and soul to his interests in aviation and Fessenden.

Funeral is a service at Kilkerrran at 2pm on Friday. All welcome.

Diane - he will also be missed by all his friends in Massachusetts and in Canada and they have been emailing me all day. They have asked that I get flowers from them all and will be in touch with you. Be proud of your dad, he did a great job with Fessenden. I've known him since school days and can appreciate how much you will miss him.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I was lucky enough to have met Duncan through his plans for the Fessenden project. The first time he called our office he had me in stitches with his wit and humour, it seemed he was trying to shock me! I met him several timess after that - including traipsing around the Fessenden site out at Machrihanish on a very blustery day, but Duncans enthusiasm and passion for the story he had to tell made all worthwhile. A great character whom I will miss. My thoughts are with you Diane.

I am so sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts are with Diane, Morris and family.

Very sad news, indeed. I looked for his posts. His Fressenden project was fascinating to follow. My prayers are certainly with his family.

Donald Kelly has put a page on the Fessenden site in memory of Duncan. Click here.

This photo of Duncan sitting at Russell's radio desk is probably the memory that will stay with me.
