Duncan Barrymore Westby of Fleming Island Florida transitioned on May 31, 2019.
He was given the gift of life for 96 years, and now he had to give it back. This is hard. He was a blessed man, who led a lucky existence, and for this he was grateful.

In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14:2-3






My prayers and spirit go out to you and such a beautiful family.
Dear Berta and family,
Our love, thoughts and prayers are so often with you. We know Duncan loved you all so well, and you all showered him with tremendous love, too. He will always remain in your memories, thoughts and hearts. We love the truth, promise and hope of John 14:2-3, too. Thank you for reminding us of it.
Lots of love,
Jason and Kayla
My condolences, my friend; earth has no sorrow heaven can’t heal
God is a loving God, our time here on earth is only a snap of the fingers. We will be reunited in eternity all hearts in one spirit. Love to the family, praying for comfort
I only knew Duncan for a short while, but was so impressed by him. He was a gentle, kind soul with marvelous stories to tell. I wish I had the opportunity to know him better.

I met Duncan at the boat yard in Long Beach, Ca. Duncan was my friend, and one of the most interesting men I've ever met. Sadly, we lost contact in the late 80's. I hope Duncan's life was good in his latter years. I was saddened to read of Hewett's passing. Best wishes to Berta.
I love you grandpa, I remember when I first found you after searching for my dad and finding you instead. You told me about my dad and to find my grandma and my aunties. You said you didnt believe in God anymore after my dad drowned and that made me sad. I remember feeling like you all thought I was after money when I was after your love and wish I had gotten more of it. I hope your with my dad and the rest of Gods people and that your watching over me because its rough down here not knowing who is who and what is what its so sneaky and tricky here and with the Holy Spirit Ive managed to make through a lot of it. I realize it was not me its been God the whole time. I never attempted to convince you God was real yet I prayed and Im sure you see he is now. Please love me and watch over me and my children because your apart of how we got in this world. I love you and hope we meet again. I think you where a little stubborn and kinda a loner thats ehat I remember and maybe I am too. I love the water and boats just like you and dad. I miss you and hope too be as great if not greater because of you. I love you oh ps my daughter got your eyes and my moms eyes thanks cause i prayed since a little girl she would be light skinned like me with green eyes and curly hair God really outdid himself. I love you
