On many weekends, you would find him at a car show, from somewhere in Georgia to Florida and beyond.

Oh what a builder he was! While building Spanish Oaks Retreat, I never had a worry because Duncan was in charge and there was never an issue. During this two year construction project, Duncan became a good friend and I always knew I could count on him for advice. Savannah has lost a great man but now he and Linda are together once again. My condolences to all of the Ogletree family. Keith Munger, President Spanish Oaks Retreat
