Pete/Kay, hi,

I knew Duncan since '97 I believe. At that time he was making delicious hams and also some terrific pies, ala "Dunc's pies"...
-UK Gary was the inn keeper at All Nations at that time and he's since had a mule of a charge from the boys in brown and presently resides at the Bangkok Hilton (the NO star hilton that is...) hopefully, to get another day in court in the future.
Sometime after that, Tim & Family from Canada took over A.N. and recently sold to another chap.
To sum up, I'm fairly certain, our Dunc, is NOT your Don.
Last, thiswas a new post topic and not meant as a reply to your query looking for old mates in HH.
Best to you both,
daniel
(ps: any long-timers like to solve the circa 1990 All Nations innkeeper mystery? BILLY or??? Pls post for Pete n' Kay at the topic prior to this one, thx all)

I too was saddened to learn of Duncan's demise on Friday afternoon. I'd known him for 7 years and he was a constant source of information and advice for me, especially when I first came over.
He was one of the first westerners into HH donkeys years ago when he had The Kiwi Corner. There can't be many long timers here in town that didn't know him. I'll remember him for his prowess at cribbage counting. Reckon our games ended up about all square.
He'll be sadly missed.

Spent many a lunchtime or quiet afternoon with Duncan both at Kiwi Corner and at his house. We celebrated the birth of my son at Kiwi Corner as I was not allowed to be at the clinic so where else to go. Was not living here when he passed away and it is good that he is remembered here. A true character from HH's Farang past.
