Dr. John R. Duncan

I had more graduate classes in Education taught by Dr. Duncan than any other professor. He was a great instructor, and a a good influence on young people for many years. A truly great teacher.

Greta,
I just found out about John. I'm so sorry for you and your family.I'll always remember John from out Breck quartet (John, Mickey, Larry and myself)Remember the song, "Was Dat Someone Calling Me" ? Must have been GOD calling for Johnny.
My best to you and yours,

John Richard, my first cousin, will be remembered by me from our very early days w/ our Walden grandparents in Tompkinsville, Ky. He was a "hero" to me especially for his laughter and comic impersonations of Donald Duck. Gretta, I send you my love. Nancy Walden Galster (Detroit)

Gretta, When I read the write-up of John I thought 'I didn't know much about him' but what I did know is really all that matters: that he was a truly good person with a caring way about him who absolutely loved his wife and family. More importantly....they absolutely loved him in return. I feel blessed to have met both of you. It was always a great pleasure when I would see the two of you walk in to one of my shows. If there is anything I can do for you please do not hesitate to ask. ...

Gretta, Wanted to express my sympathy to you and your family. John had a big impact on my educational career especially the time I missed class for over two weeks and he needed to have a "conference" with me. It was more like a parent talking to his daughter that needed to get back in tow with her education. ha,ha. He was a wonderful instructor and will be remebered always... only gone for a short time we'll see him soon. Ellen

Gretta, We can only thank you and John for the opportunity to get reaquainted, even at such great cost. We celebrate his life and sorrow for your loss. Think of us as we think of you. Love Tom

Gretta, I was so sorry to hear about John's passing. I'm just so glad that your life together was happy and that you got to travel and enjoy your life and family together. I know that God will carry you through this, and that John is your angel now. My thoughts, prayers and love are with you during this difficult time.

Dear friends and family of the Duncans: I want you to know that during John's week in the hospital here in Seattle, Gretta rarely left his side, and he was also surrounded and attended by some of the most caring and capable hospital professionals that I've ever met. To the end, he was charming all the nurses with his good humor! My family is so fortunate to have spent such a wonderful Christmas with Johnny, Gretta, Laura, and the kids. We will miss him very much.
