Not sure what to say?

My wife Taylor and I have very fond memories of our time together with Duncan. Shortly after I moved to New York City in 2011, I befriended Duncan´s son Jack and we were roommates for several years. Duncan graciously hosted me for many fine dinners out in the city and at his apartment. While Jack and friends would typically stay in the living room after dinner to watch a UFC event, Duncan would often retire to the bedroom to read a good book with all of his dogs, a testament to his...

Thoughts and prayers A beautiful service at Hope Church. Michael Cosby

Very sad to learn of my old Darien friend has passed. We played many great tennis marathons at WeeBurn. And would sneak him a beer after. Knew Pam, Tuffy, M/M Pollock, and the great "Rooney". Our rag tag gang of Vanderkieft's, Gary's, Roger Hull, and Nick Sloan would play on Bumpalong Rd. all day. Plock, as I would call him was such a grown up teenager and wonderful to have as a friend. My sincere condolences to his family and the great memories I hope will lessen the grief. Curt Gary

Cousin Duncan was a multifaceted person pursuing diverse careers and deep friendships.Known for his curiosity, athleticism,warmth and courage, he maintained connections and shared memorable times with loved ones throughout his life. So great he and Karen found each other.We enjoyed visiting with them in Charleston and the Berkshires.His presence and spirit will be sorely missed. XO,Margie & Dick

Dunc was known as Mike when I met him in 7th grade at Darien Junior High School. Tennis, trips to New York as teenagers where the drinking age was 18 and almost any fake ID worked in certain bars. Discussing politics, economics, art, friends, current events with Dunc was always stimulating, especially when we disagreed. I will always remember with admiration how he continued to do the things he loved with the people he loved after his cancer diagnosis. he will be missed by many.

Dunc was one of the good guys.

We are longtime and dear friends of Karen and met Duncan through her. We are so saddened by the loss of someone who was truly her soulmate. What they shared was exceptionally rare, with their love for international travel and art as well as their abiding faith that seemed to bring them even closer as Duncan valiantly struggled with his health. That these two people should have found each other in their mature years was truly a miracle and an inspiration for us all.

Duncan lit up a room. He had a real knack for connecting people and was the ultimate people person. He will be truly missed.

Very fond memories of Michael!
