It was a great pleasure to have worked for Victor Duncan Inc. thru the years, and an even greater pleasure to have worked with Victor and Lee Duncan. Victor's visionary contribution to the film industry will live as a wonderful legacy. He will be greatly missed and very fondly remembered.

Boy he had a good run. I always had a warm spot in my heart for Victor, check and double check, Duncan. He gave me my first job in Chicago and when I wanted to strike out on my own he was my sponsor to IASTE, the film cameraman's union. He's been out of the film business for awhile but he was a great director of photography and for those that didn't know him then would be surprised by his impressive list of credits. He'll be missed.

Even though we moved from Dallas 14 years ago, everytime we saw Claire she reminded us...

A good friend and compatriot - member of a vanishing breed - WW II Veteran, Navy, LST service. Fellow HPHS graduate. Justifiably proud of his children. He'll be fondly missed.

I knew Victor through the years since he moved to Dallas. We worked together, taught together, and laughed together. He was, and is one of my mentors. There are not enough words to describe this warm,caring individual. I am honored to have called him my friend.

Chris and Vic,

You are in our thoughts-
Carmen and Lloyd

God bless you and keep you during this time of grief.
