Charles B. Duncan ’71

Charles B. Duncan ’71 of Claremont, New Hampshire, passed away at home on May 3. Charlie was the first of five children born to Richard C. and Theofilia (Wiltowski) Duncan. Raised in Newport, New Hampshire, he graduated from Newport High School in 1967 and went on to earn an A.B. in religion in 1986 from Dartmouth, where he was a member of Gamma Delta Chi. He later earned a certificate from New England School of Alcohol Studies. Charlie was an easygoing guy who was happy to help his friends and others. He had a great sense of humor and loved sharing stories. Among many jobs, his favorite by far was building dry stone walls. Self-employed as a dry mason, his artistry is displayed at many public and private venues, including the garden walls of the Tracy Memorial Library in New London, New Hampshire. Charlie was predeceased by his parents and his loving companion, Marlys. He is survived by sister Janis and her husband, Edmund; sister Barbara and her husband, Sam; brother Thomas; brother William and his wife, Jo-Ann; stepsons Troy and Tommy; daughter Fran and her husband, Jason; grandchildren Justin and Samantha; niece Rebecca; and nephews Matthew and Riley.
