In loving memory of Bernard Raymond Duncan who sadly passed away on 26th September 2024 after a short battle with lung cancer.

Bernie was a wonderful Dad and Grandad who will be deeply missed by his son Nik and partner Georgie, by his daughter Amy and her husband Adrian and by his two grandkids, Millie and Thomas.

He was a man full of love, kindness, gentleness and laughter. He was much loved and will be massively missed. We will love him forever and he will be in our hearts and memories.

He had a love of sports, supporting Dover Athletic FC, Chelsea FC and Kent Cricket Club, attending matches with Nik and Adrian. In previous times he enjoyed wind surfing, waterpolo and squash. Dad's main other hobby was gardening and he was immensley proud of all the products he grew in both his garden and his allotment, and he was always keen to share his fantastic crops with his family.

One of Dad's main passions in life was music. He had a very wide and eceletic taste but for sure his favourite band was Pink Floyd. We'll be using Pink Floyd in the service.

Dad had a love of Corfu. He has asked that his ashes are scattered in the sea near one of the family's favourite beaches.

In terms of dress code for the funeral. We'd like to mix formal and casual. Dad had a great sense of humour and I'm sure would have loved a mixture of formal with a bit of playfulness... Think Disneyor Chelsea FC accessories. Not sure he'd appreciate other football teams being represented though!

Tim Beckwith donated £40 in memory of Bernard

Forever in our thoughts and prayers. Tim, Carol and family

Sad but lovely service for Bernie today.. All words spoken with deep sentiment and some lovely humour…
We new Bernie many years ago in our waterpolo world.. Bernie was a good goalkeeper for Dover and proficient referee for all us youngsters.. he would drive his lovely campervan with us in tow to Drunen and other locations in Holland for a weekends waterpolo and would keep us all in line… with quite a few beers……
Fond memories Bernie…
Steve Bray and Terry Fry.. Folkestone Waterpolo…

I'll always remember the fun memories with Bernie and our families together in Corfu growing up and most recently at one of the family parties where us youngsters & Bernie stayed awake into the early hours outside giggling away round the firepit!

Sending you all so much love and thinking of you at this difficult time. Lots of love, Helena & Alex xxx
