Duncan Barry Scales (3 Oct 1963 - 22 Sep 2018)

I’ve been Coming to his grave for the past 2 days. I live locally and came to the graveyard to relax. I felt a connection with Duncan and I don’t know why as I am not a family or friend of Duncan’s. His grave is a relaxing place for me. Live on Duncan and you will be remembered forever

RIP Duncan x My thoughts are with your Family x

Having known Duncan since he was 19 years old, a larger than life character even then. The great memories and laughs we had will live always in my memory. Taken far to early and will be sadly missed. Gob bless you Duncan x

I have known big Duncan for over 40 years and will miss him dearly - I can't believe he will no longer be ringing me up to go out for a pint or ask how the horse is doing - unreal.
He was a gentleman, a true friend and always willing to help no matter what the problem.
I remember many years ago him walking into The Railway Pub at East Ardsley with Karen, both arms broken after a run in with an inmate at Wandsworth !! even then he had that big grin on his face.
We went with Duncan, Karen and Josh on holiday to Thassos a few years back and Josh learnt to swim on that holiday - a brilliant 2 weeks.
Great sense of humour, quick witted and a very smart man - always dressed immaculately.
My heart goes out to Karen and Josh who he loved so very much - and they him.
What a loss - I am a better man for having known him - God Bless you Dunc - Paul.B.

Such a sad loss for Duncan's family and friends.
Never be forgotten for his humour and friendship.

Duncan, I knew you 21 years since I was that crazy terrified new Prison Officer in training and you were my tutor. Thanks to you, I passed my course. We became friends and the rest is history. You were a guy who was one in a billion. I’ve never known anyone like you. You lit up a room when you walked in with your flamboyant personality and everybody loved you. You were your own man and did what you believed in and not what you were told. I am blessed to have had you in my life as a friend. You will be terribly missed but a guy like you doesn’t die, you will live on in people’s hearts forever. God bless and I hope they have a good barber where you are! I’ll miss you 😘 xx Jo, Chorkie & Timmy xx

Happy memories of good times. Sincere condolences to Karen Joshua and all family at this sad time. Rip Duncan xxx

Sincere condolences at Duncan’s passing. I worked with him at HMP Wandsworth from 1886-89. Duncan was always cracking a joke, always positive and was a real gent. My thoughts & prayers go out to Karen and his family at this time.
