Duncan was one of the best in the Tampa bottle club industry, inspiring me to later become a club owner myself......I spent several years eating his meatballs, cheese, fish sticks and crackers at 4:30 a.m.,.........his hand picked staff there were second to none......he also loved his cats at the club and took good care of them.....you will be missed.

Sorry to hear about Duncan, I remember many good times in the Cabin and even got to know Duncan a little. I wish I got to know him a little better. God be with you.

Wow Duncan was always great to me, Had many wild and crazy nights at the cabin, We used to wait for that crock pot, beans and weenies to come out! Thanks for letting me chill to the early morning hours, Wish i could of said so long old friend....Blessing to  the family, his laugh will be missed!!!

Memories of a former kid, boy scout and classmate:
Duncan will be sorely missed, his smiling face, hearty laugh, great parties and generosity will never be forgotten.
In Heaven, may he have a superb wine steward who will serve "expensive" and "tasteful" bottles of wine.
Hopefully, during his card games he will remember not to change the rules as the game is being played.
Smooth sailing Sailor!! 
REST IN PEACE!

 I HAD GREAT TIME FOR MANY YEARS SEEING DUNCAN IN NOVEMBER,ESPECIALLY DURING THANKSGIVING SEASON AND MEETING MOST OF HIS IMMEDIATE FAMILY AND REMEMBERING ALL NICE THINGS DURING MANY YEARS TOGETHER.I SURELY WILL MISS HIM AND SEEING HIS FAMILY.

After 70 years of friendship the party is over, no more laughs or twice weekly phone calls.  We had a long and good run together.  I'll miss you old friend.

I guess its time for Heaven to open up a after hours bottle club....

Its been over 22 yrs since I last saw Duncan but like so many of us, Duncan has a special spot in our hearts...It was Duncan we looked up to when it came to running a bar. Like my friend Scott stated, we spent many wonderful times with him in our youth at the Cabin...We are glad to have known you and may one day we all get to drink with you again in Heaven's after hours...Does anyone have a chip?

Duncan will be missed very much. The days of The Cabin were some wonderful times in my youth. I am glad I got to know him. My condolences to his family.

My family sends our deepest sympathy to Duncan's family. He was a special person to all of us...my husband John whom we lost from cancer 7-30-2003, Teri (daughter), Johnny (son) Gary (son), & Jackie (daughter) we all loved him so much, he was such a great guy and will be missed by a lot of people. May he rest in peace in God's care.
~A long time friend,
Leona & Family

My deepest sympathy to all in Dunc's family. When I came to Dunedin 41 years ago to join the Dunedin Police Dept., one of my first honors was to be formally introduced to Duncan. He and I became fast friends. Through him, I met many interesting and wonderful people including the mother of my two children, Nancy. We had so many enjoyable and riotous times together including planting one of Clearwater's parking meters in the front lawn of McKown's Restaurant on the night of my bachelor's party. It was the first and only parking meter ever erected in the City of Dunedin. His wonderful support of the Dunedin Police Department and its members will always be remembered. The annual banquets that he held each year for us were beyond compare. Duncan, it was an honor to share in your 50th birthday celebration at the Sand Key Inn on Clearwater Beach in 1975 and it is with sadness that I mark here your passing. You will remain forever in my heart and memory. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with me

Our Deepest sympathy.

My deepest symathies to Duncan's family. I worked for him at the Cabin for 10 years and he certainly was a special person.  May God grant you all comfort.

Dear Karen - My condolences to you and your family.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  Love, Linda

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU IN YOUR TIME OF LOSS. MAY GOD GIVE YOU PEACE.

MariJo, Lori, Karen & Dan,
I have many fond memories of times spent with all of you and the weekend dinners at the McKown house. I loved hearing Duncan's jokes and stories. He was always so full of life, kind and generous. My deepest sympathy on his loss.

I only knew him briefly, to me he was just "Lori's dad".  He always had the brightest smile and a twinkle in his eye.

Having just lost my father, I truly understand how at times life was frustrating, but also I know that he is truly, sadly missed.

Just close your eyes and remember his smile when he noticed you, and the twinkle in his eyes...

Duncan was a good man and a wonderful friend to have in my life.  My thoughts are with his family and all the joy he brought to me and so many at the Cabin.  Thanks Duncan !!  Smokie

To the McKown Family, 
I did not know your Dad but I dearly love your Aunt Marie.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you.  My God comfort and assure you during this time of grief.

Bobby Yeoman would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Duncan - He will surely be missed.

I'm sorry to hear of Duncan's death. I wish I had known him. I knew of him only through his niece, Barbara, my second cousin, who I came to know about a year ago through my ancestry research. Although they never knew one another, Duncan & my father were first cousins -- their common ancestor was their paternal grandfather, Andrew Jackson McKown. Andrew had three sons, but it appears he kept each a secret from the other. Although I didn't know Duncan, I feel I came to know something about him through his online memorial, including his remarkable photo gallery. Thank you for sharing his life in this way. I pray that his loved ones will find comfort in their faith and in one another at this difficult time. 
Sincerely,

I enjoyed many of his sandwiches when I was a mortuary college student and worked at 83rd and Ashland.
My sympathy.
