The passing of John Mavor Duncan age 82, beloved husband of Barbara Joy (Lee) Duncan occurred at the Dr. Everett Chalmers Regional Hospital, Fredericton on Saturday, October 31, 2015.

John was born March 25, 1933 on the family homestead on Duncan Lane, Fredericton.  He was a son of the late James and Cora (Barton) Duncan.

John was an Electrical Contractor by trade, owning and operating John M. Duncan Electric Ltd. for many years.  John was a faithful member of St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Fredericton.  He was an avid outdoor enthusiast and especially enjoyed being in the woods hunting or fishing.  With a passion for the great outdoors and the wilderness in general, John found solitude with nature.  Another of his favorite pastimes was gardening.  He always took great pride in preparing and maintaining his large vegetable garden but his great joy was being at the lake spending time with his family.

John was the loving husband of Barbara for 62 years, a much loved father of Diane Moffitt of St. Albert, Alberta, John Duncan (Shirley) of Sarasota, Florida, Calvin Duncan (Dorothy) of Fredericton, Tim Duncan (Sheila) of New Orleans, Louisiana and Dr. Mark Duncan (Lynne) of Kelowna, BC.  John was a devoted and loving grandfather of 12 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren.  John is also survived by Brothers Ken of Fredericton, Bob of Harvey and Alden (Louise) of Fredericton as well as a number of nieces and nephews.

Besides his parents John was predeceased by siblings, Rebecca, Bill, George, Dave and Gene.

No visitation, by request.  A family service will be held with the Rev. Dr. Ross Hebb officiating.  Interment will be at the Acton Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations to St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Fredericton, would be appreciated by the family.
