I worked with Duncan for many years, he was a totally reliable friend and colleague who would always know the correct answer or come up with a solution to anything that cropped up, I certainly learned from him and respected his opinons and advice. He always got stuck into everything he did at work, and always put people first and worked hard to be fair to everyone and try to improve things for all with his innovative, foresightful and practical ways. Never negative, he was a real pleasure to work with and was very highly respected and liked. I was shocked and stunned to hear the untimely news, Deepest Sympathy to Jane and all Duncan's family.
