Look for his picture in the dictionary and you'll see Top Notch Guy next to it. If you couldn't work with or for this guy; you had a problem.

Thanks Mr. Duncan for sharing your stories and spaghetti dinners and allowing me to help and learn on your construction projects. Although I haven't seen you in many years it has not dimmed the advice and memories I gained.
