Born on Valentine's Day in 1938, he came into the world a left- hander and an only child, born at home in Southeast Roanoke, at the end of the Great Depression, and on the eve of a World War. He often joked that he turned out far better than anyone might have expected with such a start in life. His mother and father (both deceased) were Evie Stewart Duncan and Lee Duncan, and Richard credited them with saving both his "hide and soul" with their strictness and love.

He also taught many years of summer school, and continued to serve as a substitute teacher and curriculum consultant for seven years after his formal retirement in 1996. It was a common occurrence for him to be recognized by grateful former students no matter where he was in the Roanoke Valley. One of his heroes in life was his Uncle Bill Duncan who, as a young Marine, survived the World War II Bataan Death March and horrific Cabanatuan POW Camp. Richard Duncan's life was filled with family, love, laughter, learning, music, books, and films. He was a devoted cat lover who rescued many felines over the years; he met the love of his life at Jefferson High School; he held a deep appreciation for our nation's history. on November 12, 2013.⁶
