Was a well respected grain buyer<br />
Randy James Duncan passed away<br />
on Sept. 19, <strong>2017</strong> at the age of 61 years in<br />
the Coronation Long Term<br />
Care Centre.<br />
He was born in the Castor<br />
Hospital on Sept. 2, 1956 just a<br />
few short minutes before his<br />
twin brother, Ross, a fact he<br />
was always proud of.<br />
Randy graduated from the<br />
Castor High School in 1974 and<br />
went on to Calgary to work<br />
road construction.<br />
He returned to Halkirk and Duncan<br />
became employed by the<br />
Alberta Wheat Pool working<br />
his way up to manager.<br />
He served the communities of<br />
Halkirk, Gadsby and lastly<br />
Botha. During this time,<br />
Randy made many friends<br />
and became a respected<br />
grain buyer.<br />
Randy was a hard worker,<br />
but was always ready for a<br />
good game of crib. He loved<br />
to curl and bonspiel (and<br />
was pretty good at both of<br />
these). He loved cats.<br />
He cheered for the<br />
Calgary Flames and the<br />
Calgary Stampeders.<br />
When Randy’s health started to fail<br />
at an early age, he was hospitalized<br />
and later admitted in the Coronation<br />
Long Term Care, of which he was a<br />
resident for the past 11 years.<br />
He leaves to mourn his loss his<br />
father, James Duncan of Points West in<br />
Stettler; brothers, Ross (Karen) of<br />
Castor and Murray (Linda) of Stettler<br />
and brother-in-law Larry Jeske of Red<br />
Deer; four children – Derek (Rhonda),<br />
Heather, Dallas and Devon; five grandchildren<br />
and numerous nieces and<br />
nephews.<br />
He was predeceased by his mother,<br />
Elsie Duncan and sister Gwen Jeske.<br />
Private family funeral services were<br />
held on Fri., Sept. 22, <strong>2017</strong>. Randy was<br />
laid to rest in the Halkirk Cemetery.<br />
