Albert Thomas “Tom” Duncan passed away peacefully surrounded by his family at the Southwood Hospice on Sunday, January 23, 2011 at the age of 86 years. At 17 he enlisted in the Navy and served on the HMCS Courtney at Prince Rupert during WWII. Tom came home to Calgary and started his work career with Alberta Wheat Pool, then went on to work with Seaboard, Royalite and Texaco as budget supervisor. He met and married Mavis in 1948, and raised three children, Kurt, Maura and Mark. Tom was involved in family life and was a great role model for his children.
