Hello Duncan family, We are very sorry about the passing of Jim. Don and I enjoyed Jim so much when we were in school at Carmel High School at Carmel, IN. Jim was our friend, class president and friend to all of our classmates. Don and Marilyn King, Carmel Class of '55.

Catherine,
My condolences. I met you and Jim at the IU National Advisory Board in 2007, my first year on the Board. I remember you both warmly.

Dear Nancy,

Joan and I just learned of Jim's death. We were in California on June 9 and just returned recently. Although we haven't seen the two of you much in recent years, we still remember fondly the many happy times we spent together when Jim was active on the UT campus. We certainly hope that you are still well and look forward to visiting with you some time in the future.

With much love and sympathy,

Wayne & Joan Holtzman

Dear Nancy and family,

The news of Jim's passing is nearly incomprehensible.

Jim always brought excellence to his roles as husband and father, mentor, friend, and his example of what is best in our lives and within higher education.

Jim was an unusually outstanding and an unrelenting teacher; he had the unique abililty to both learn and teach others as he lived his daily life.

Our memories here are flooded with shared friendships and fellowship,...

We join the many friends of the Duncan's who are mourning Jim's passing. As we travel through this life, occasionally there are individuals we meet along life's path, who make a difference in our life and Jim was such a person. While we were at the UT System, Jim & Nancy Duncan were easily the most friendly and helpful during our tenure. Having witnessed Jim's ability as an administrator, the academic President's were fortunate to have such a strong advocate. Our deepest sympathy to Nancy...
