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 />
