Dunc, it was a pleasure to know you mate, can't believe that when we saw you at Brands it would be the last time !! wish I'd made it Chimay this year then we'd have spent more time in your company, a great guy with a wealth of knowledge not just on TZ's .

Your friends will miss you! inc: Brian Beck, Bob Hall and Andy Williamson, we'll be there to pay our last respects, whenever the funeral is.

RIP Dunc, (Chunky!) Our thoughts are with Dawn and all his family

Pete & June Morris

To all that knew DUNCAN PEMBERTON

I would like to just say thank you for all the kind words that have been posted on this and other racing sites, the lovely cards and flowers and the continues texts I have received on duncans mobile from so many people, all who only have fantastic words to say about him.
I have been lucky that Duncan came into my life about a year and half ago and we have spent every day together since. He was my best friend, my world and was fantastic with my 3 kids, all of who have taken his death very hard.
We will all miss him greatly and i still cant understand why such a great person had to die so young. He was the best.

Unfortunately due to a lot of red tape, his funeral can not be arranged jet though his family are talking about the 12th September. if you would like more details then just send me an email.

Safe racing to all

Dawn xxxxxxxxxxx

hi Guys,
I'm Duncan's little sister, and I would like to thank you from his family for all your kind thoughts. Dawn was a huge part in Duncan's life and has been the reason for his smile the last 18 months and for that we also thank you for your support of her. His funeral is on the 12th September 11am, All Saints Church, Dogmersfield, Hants (if you find Fourseasons you will find the Church) and then afterwards at Peppone's, Mill Lane, Crondall (just around the corner!) All extremely welcome. He is greatly missed. Thanks again.xxx
