My heart is deeply saddened by the lost of your husband and father. I can remember as far back as when he an Daddy(Rev. Jimmy Fields)coached together and that great friendship was made, I even remember him giving me those rides on his city bus. Great man and friend. Always remember that there is no sorrow that God can't heal, hold on to his everlasting arm and you all will get through this.

Rest in Peace "Coach Duncan." Remembering in 1980's we honored you at my home in Mt. Pleasant, SC by the request of my brother Richard who wanted to thank you for the values you instilled in him in High School, and then he did not make it time to attend the affair traveling from New York, but the event went on anyway. Mrs."Cile" and Family may you find comfort in the Lord, during this time to see you through.
