Duncan was a treasured colleague of mine at PSU for many years, and we did some motorcycle rides together. He had a great sense of humor and held his students to high standards. Our different political views never stood in the way of our relationship. He was a good human being, a good friend, and an exemplary professor. My condolences to his family.

I just found this.. My condolences to his family. Duncan had many kind things to say about my dad, Coach Joe Giallombardo, who worked at New Trier HS from 1940-1975. I enjoyed his stories and comments on Facebook.. I was NT class of 1963.. but remembered him from the NT swim team. I´m so sorry to hear he passed away..

Duncan was a good human being and extraordinary teacher with whom we had major political differences but we took motorcycle rides together and had numerous conversations. Duncan was full of life and lived life to the fullest. He also had a great sense of humor and was compassionate and caring. He kept his course standards high and demanded much from his students. I will always remember the twinkle in his eye. We will all remember him fondly

Duncan was a class act. I am better for having known and worked with him. He was a true and honest mentor to many, many studens and professionals.
