Harley L. Duncan, 71, of Van Wert, died at 3:58 a.m. Saturday, September 8, 2018, at Van Wert Health.

He was born August 5, 1947, in Gallipolis, the son of Mervin Harley and Zelphia (Buzzard) Duncan, who both preceded him in death. Nearly 50 years ago on November 9, 1968, he married Patricia M. (Auer) Duncan, and she survives in Van Wert.

Mr. Duncan retired from Whemco Foundry in Lima. He had previously worked for many years at Harter Corporation and Varco-Pruden, both of Van Wert. Harley enjoyed athletics, both as a fan and participant. He coached both Little League baseball and junior softball and collected NASCAR and Coca-Cola memorabilia.

Harley and his family are very thankful and appreciative for the wonderful care and friendship they received from his long-time doctor and friend, Dr. Jerry Sell.

A daughter, Christina Fay Duncan; five brothers, Johnny, Herbert, James, Earl, and Charles Duncan; and two sisters, Vernia Barnhart and Linda Gossard, also preceded him in death.
