OBITUARY
In Loving Memory of Duncan Leslie James Cumming
October 14, 1947 – August 23, 2025
Duncan Leslie James Cumming, age 77, of Madison, Georgia,
peacefully passed away on August 23, 2025. Born in Cornwell, Ontario, to Neil
and Edith Alguire Cumming, he carried the warmth of his Canadian upbringing and
the values instilled by his loving parents throughout his life.
Entrepreneurial Spirit
Fifty years ago, Duncan founded Cumming Brothers Hydraulics
from a small shop transforming it into a respected regional business. He
approached every challenge with ingenuity and dedication, priding himself on
honest service and long-lasting relationships with customers who became like
family.
Family and Personal Life
Duncan shared 56 joyful years of marriage with his wife and
soulmate, Jane Tarpley Cumming. He was a devoted father to David Cumming
(Michelle) and held tender memories of his son Adam, who preceded him in death.
His grandchildren-Joseph Cumming and Lauren Cumming Hay (Sam)-brought him
boundless pride, and his sister, Ann Zimmerman (Fred), along with brothers
Donald Cumming (Susan) and Jim Cumming.
