Duncan will always be someone I fondly remember and never forget. He was imaginative and shared his passion in the art of photography with all who had the pleasure of knowing him. It was easy to see the flair and talent he had looking at some of his work. To me, his work proved that the most beautiful colors exist in the mind of the viewer and not the pictures themselves.

Thank you for letting me see beauty through your eyes and I know Heaven just got a little more colourful.

I saw with sadness that Doug has left us. I remember with happiness the Burns dinners I attended, first on W. Georgia and later in your home. My condolences to Yvonne and the family.
