Floyd Duncan was born July 4, 1922, in Elmore County, Alabama, to the late James and Sallie Duncan.  He was the seventh of nine children; all having preceded him in death.

Floyd confessed Christ at an early age, being baptized and joining the Goodship Missionary Baptist Church.

Floyd joined the United States Armed Forces at the age of 16, where he served gallantly in World War II.  After being honorably discharged he returned to his home in Millbrook, Alabama.   However, it wasn’t long before Papa (his father) thought it was best that he leave Millbrook to live with extended family in Pittsburgh PA.  Floyd worked odd jobs (even sitting up pins at the local bowling alley).  He then moved to Cleveland where his cousin Tom Robinson was instrumental in getting him hired at Ferro Corporation.  Where he worked from 1946 thru his retirement in 1986.

Floyd met and married Clara Person in 1949, from this union two daughters were born Cynthia & Marcia Duncan.

Floyd was one of the most dependable men that you could ever meet.   If you needed him, he was there, if you needed to fix something if he couldn’t do it, he knew someone who could. He was just that type of man, always a man of his word.

Floyd loved his family and his family loved him!! He was a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, uncle, cousin, and friend.  He loved gardening, he loved it, so much he had two gardens at the same time.  His garden produced much of which he shared with others.  Floyd’s love language was cooking, fried chicken, potato salad, collard greens, cornbread, and oxtail soup to name a few.   Floyd was an avid Cleveland Brown’s fan and season ticket holder from 1965 thru 1995.  He also enjoyed watching the Cleveland Indians (Cleveland Guardians), he thought he had the best seat in the house in front of the TV in his favorite chair.

Duncan-Williams, two grandchildren Aaron Floyd (Janella), Michaela Currean Williams; three great grandchildren, Aaramiah Tamar Duncan, Jzyniya V.
