Marechal Duncan at the Historical Society in February 2019. Photo provided Lafayette lost a beloved member of the community with the recent passing of Marechal Duncan at age 98. It wasn t just that his many years of volunteerism, benefiting many different organizations have made the community a much better place, although they have, but it is the man himself - his wit, his charm, and his humor - who touched so many lives, that so many will miss. Marechal enlivened every event he organized and attended, and that included a large number of events, says Former Mayor Don Tatzin. With a calm manner, Marechal earned the fondness and commanded the respect of citizens because he knew what he was talking about, brought good ideas, and was kind and courteous to everyone.
