Dear Duncan Family
I am your first cousin. My dad and your dad were brothers. My dad was Curtis Duncan. He was killed on an auto accident in 1958.
I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy’s passing. Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. It’s so sad we have not stayed in touch over the years. God bless all of you.
