Condolences for the family of “Rev. Dr. Graeme Duncan”
Just in case Graeme’s children may still read this I wanted to comment. He was a wonderful minister in Regina. He was our minister when we were married in 1966. I was Stephen’s first babysitter. We were so sad to hear of Suzanne’s passing as they visited at my parent’s place so many times. The entire congregation here loved them all. When it came to curling with the church Suzanne begged off. My dad told her that the only reason one didn’t curl in SK was if they were pregnant. I felt so sad when I heard that Graeme was in a home and wasn’t well. He had met me at the airport the last time I flew alone through Toronto and I could tell that not all was well. I hope the family is all well now and still getting together. The last we heard was that Stephen was a medical dr. We named our first born Todd Stephen and unfortunately he passed away this past October as well. Love and hugs to all of you.

Sad surprise to learn of Graeme’s passing all these years later. I was from Carberry and knew Graeme and Suzanne . Graeme would spend the harvest at the Hood farm and out farm driving a potato truck or grain truck and he was always such a pleasure to have around. There were so many laughs .
I knew Suzanne had predecessor Graeme but having moved away from Carberry in the nineties I didn’t know he had passed away.
If his family reads this please accept my very belated condolences.
Sincerely
Earl Brown
