Duncan Augustine died June 14, 2013, in Burlington, N.C., at the age of 97.
He came to Princeton from Westmont High School in Johnstown, Pa. At Princeton he majored in mechanical engineering and was a member of Gateway Club. He graduated summa cum laude and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa.
For 26 years, Duncan was a production engineer for General Motors in its Fisher Body Division, which interrupted auto production to manufacture aircraft for the Navy during World War II. While working in the GM facility in Trenton, he married and raised a family in Princeton, later transferring to Detroit.
After retiring in 1974, Duncan moved to the Eastern Shore of Maryland into a 1730s-era house that he spent many years restoring. During his retirement he served on the Wicomico County zoning and school construction boards and sailed, traveled, and repaired clocks. He later moved to a retirement community in Burlington.
Duncan is survived by two sons, three grandchildren, two great-grandchildren, and a brother. He was predeceased by his wife, Betty, and a daughter. The class sends its sympathy.
