Duncan family,

Please accept our sympathies in the passing of your dad. I believe my dad knew Joe through his work and I know we are also related on the Mercer end of the family ( My grandma was Martha Mercer Cramton). She married my granddad Eddie Cramton.

Our condolances to you all,

Alf and Ann Cramton
