Stephen P. Duncan

Born in Jersey City, Stephen grew up in Creskill, NJ. Stephen lived in Dumont, NJ. from 1980 until 2014 before moving to Lakewood. Stephen graduated from Lenoir Rhyne College in Hickory, NC where he and Debbie met. Steve had a lifelong passion for sports of all kinds. He had many favorite teams over the years, including the Boston Red Sox, the NJ Devils, and especially Arsenal soccer in more recent years. He frequently wore his Arsenal jerseys and was rarely seen without a sports cap on. Steve was also passionate about music and history.

Stephen worked as a customer service representative for the General Electric Corporation in New York City for many years before his retirement.

Stephen was the son of the late Stewart and Theodora (Knutsen) Duncan, and he was predeceased by his uncles, Hans Knutsen and Roger Brown.
