Maureen and family. My work took me away from the service. I was very saddened to learn that Duncan had passed. My deepest sympathies. He joined us for a short time , at Thomega/City Profile. His professionalism and attention to our clients set new standards. He collaborated on a commercial shoot on a golf course with the crew and had helped to make that shoot day a great success. I enjoyed our conversations and the keen business sense he shared. The many times we met up around the community and shared talks. Will miss Duncan RIP.

Dear Maureen and family. I remember so fondly when my Mom, Dad, Warren and I visited you in Saskatoon. I think it was c. 1990. There was so much fun in your household. I remember lots of laughter, lunch at Earl's and colouring Marcus' hair purple! Despite geographical distance memories like these, stick. The photo you shared in the Programme of Duncan running, is just as I remember him. I also think of him as kind and with a lovely warm smile. I am so sorry for your loss and send you all love. X

It was a shock to read of Dunc's passing - and only two days shy of his 70th birthday. I will always rememeber Dunc's willingness to help with set-up at our Eclipse concerts, and his friendliness towards all of us. I know that you will miss him terribly. YOu are all in our thoughts and prayers.

With deepest sympathy to Duncan's family - wife , sisters and children and others who loved him.
Duncan, especially our summers together , were a positive influence on my life and on my siblings Byron and Susan. He had patience and love for his young cousins Byron Jo-Anne and sister Michelle as well as his older cousin Susan and sister Barbara Anne and a wicked sense of humour my brother and my older son inherited. He loved to tease his grandmother Jolly and take us on adventures around the cottage. We were blessed to have that time together at Lake Simcoe with our grandparents. His grandfather Jolly loved his summers with Duncan and he brought joy with his love of life. His Aunt Grace and Uncle Barney were proud of him as both a child and an adult. With love and thanks for a life well lived.

Dear Mrs. Jolly and family: I met and knew Duncan at the Y and at Sunday Mass since moving to Saskatoon 20 years ago. He was a gentle and uplifting person, one who made others feel better each time one was so fortunate as to encounter him and who made the world a better place because he was here and remains here through all who he influenced. Thank you for him.

My dear dear friend Maureen. I am so sorry that I can't be with you to give you and your boys support and a big hug. I have spent many years laughing and crying with you and Duncan. I will always have the image of Duncan in his white suit knocking on our door!
We are out of the country too and I now have given up trying to get a flight home. I will be thinking and praying for you and your family.
Lots of love to all of you.

Our deep sympathies and prayers to Maureen and all the family. We are out of the country and just learned of Duncan's passing. We were a close bunch many years ago when all the children were younger, but hadn't connected in the last few years. We have a lot of memories sitting together at the dinner table, around the pool, lots of laughter, wine, good stories. Dunc had a great chuckle and never had an ill word about anyone. Consistently late for a dinner party, he and Maureen always made up for it on the other end of the evening. We had had lots of happy thoughts about the Jollys today, and will always remember Duncan with great affection.
