Ian MacDonald DUNCAN

DUNCAN, Ian MacDonald April 11, 1937 - January 31, 2018 Duncan passed away peacefully at Crossroads Hospice in Port Moody, after a brief illness. He was born in Guildford, England and was 15 when he moved to Canada in 1952 with his family. Duncan was a Radio Navigator/Officer in the RCAF in the early 1960's. Then he worked with Maple leaf Foods in Winnipeg and Toronto where he retired in 2002. Duncan's favourite activity over many years was geo-caching. He not only found close to 1500 geo-caches, but was responsible for placing many in various locations, mostly in Ontario along the Bruce and Georgian Trails. Duncan enjoyed travelling, kayaking, cycling and hiking. In 2003, he walked the last 200 kilometers of The Camino in Spain, and in 2007, completed hiking the whole Bruce Trail in Ontario, 800 kilometers. More recently, since moving to B.C. in 2015, he enjoyed exploring the area. His favourite social activities were playing bridge, and going out for Sunday dinners with his wife. Duncan was pre-deceased by his first wife, Helen (1940-1981) and son Graham (1968 - 2017). Duncan will be sorely missed by his wife and best friend of 23 years, Diane (nee Stevenson); son Grant; grandson Mason, his mother Rhonda and family; sister Jennifer (Jack) and family in England; brother David in Scotland; cousin Irene and family in Ontario; Diane's children, Andrew, Laurie and Christine and families; and extended family and friends. A Celebration of Duncan's Life will be held at a later date. Donations may be made to Crossroads Hospice or Eagle Ridge Hospital Foundation.
