Visitation will begin at the chapel there at 12: Noon, prior to the services, where his military memorabilia and medals will be on display.
Troy died September 5th, 2009 in Bonham, Texas. His wife was in ICU at TMC in Denison at that time so his memorial was delayed until now.
Troy was cremated and his ashes will be interred at Mount Carmel Cemetery in Wolfe City, Texas on his gravesite.
He was born August 1st, 1925 in Wolfe City, Texas, the first of 12 children of the late Oscar Ervin and Ollie Maud (White) Duncan. The others were Ervin Jr., (deceased). Fredia Hines, Betty Gaskill, (deceased), Tommy and Tony, (deceased twins who died at birth), John W. (Dub), Clyde, (deceased), Billy, Velia Mae, (deceased, died at birth), Lorene Caldwell and Gloria Jean Holliday, (deceased).
He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth (Liz) of Bonham, Texas, two sons, Ricky Duncan and wife, Betty of Mansfield, Texas and Doug Duncan and wife, Vicki of Alvarado, Texas, a stepson, Larry Lancaster and wife, Thea of Tulsa, Oklahoma, a stepdaughter, Susan Lake and husband, Gene of Brenham, Texas and 10 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren, two brothers, John W. "Dub" Duncan and wife, Dora of Rowlett, Texas and Billy Duncan and wife, Barbara of Wolfe City, Texas, two sisters, Fredia Duncan Hines and friend, Jack Frost of Plano, Texas and Lorene Duncan Caldwell and husband Tommy "Tuck" of Wolfe City, Texas and many, many other relatives and friends.
Troy would never mention his war days. However, in 2002, he told his brother, John W. "Dub" that he was ready to talk about the wars he fought in. Dub met him at Dub and Dora's farm near Bonham and they begin tape recording his life story and, after about 30 to 40 hours of taping, Dub wrote Troy's life story and had it made into a booklet form for Troy's children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters and friends. There is a copy at the Wolfe City and Greenville Public Libraries and a copy is on file at Texas A&M University in Commerce, Texas.
Troy served in both, European and Pacific Theaters. He actually fought in Europe, then re-enlisted and went to Japan as a Military Police after the war ended.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Wolfe City Historical Foundation/R. L. and Nola Mullins Cultural Center/Museum.
