Obituary?tab?WILLIAM ROBERT DUNCAN APRIL 4, 1944-APRIL 7, 2010 Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind; Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave. It is with sadness, but relief that Bill's fight with cancer came to a peaceful end on Wednesday, April 7, 2010. Predeceased by his father Willis Duncan ( 1998) and his mother Grace Duncan (2004), Bill leaves to remember all the good times his wife Eleanor, his son Chad (Christina) and granddaughters Kimberly and Jessie; daughters Marquita (Grant) and Jana (Tim) ; and stepson Trevor Gates (Sonia) and grandson Atticus. Bill is also survived by his sister Carole Splett (Ed), brother Doug, father-in-law Paul Desjardins (Barbara), sisters-in-law Marie and Cindy (Gary), and brother-in-law Wil Desjardins (Rhonda), as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Most of Bill's life was spent in Regina; he attended the University of Regina for his Bachelor of Arts degree, as well as his Bachelor of Administration. Although Bill was tempted to pursue a career in science, he opted for economics and had a long and successful career as a civil servant, retiring as Director of Finance for Social Services in 2004. Bill's interests were many, including astronomy, rock formations, nature, history, genealogy, creating home videos, downhill skiing, ballroom dancing, golf and travel. Bill loved the Rocky Mountains camp trips when his children were young, downhill skiing and more recently hiking at Jasper. He also enjoyed spending time at the cottage on Pasqua Lake where, under protest, he would help Eleanor with one of her many projects. Last April's hot air balloon ride over the rock formations in Cappadocia, Turkey was a highlight of Bill's travel experiences. A Celebration of Bill's Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Monday, April 12, 2010 in Speers Funeral Chapel, 2136 College Avenue, Regina. Flowers gratefully declined. In lieu of flowers, memory gifts may be made to the World Wildlife FundCanada (wwf.ca/donations) or Willi...
