Carl “Bud” Duncan: What comes between “the dash” in 12 October 1941 - 26 January 2022?

He had a full life with family and friends that love him. His special highlight was his Hole in one after many years of golfing! He had his 80th birthday with cake and few family members! He grew up in Hickory, NC and upon turning 17 he joined the Navy in 1958 and retiring in 1991 after serving over 30 years as both a Hospital Corpsmen and Medical Service Corps Officer.

He had lots of sea stories to share. We are Navy family with his Granddaughter, Lucy, now on active duty in Norfolk, VA.
