Dwyer was born in a two-room house resembling a railroad boxcar on an oil lease near Henryetta, OK, on 7 January 1922, to Winnie and Hill Duncan. He will be missed by his wife, Helga Duncan, and daughters, Dyna Duncan and Deone Roberts; his sisters Dorothy Duncan Sellers, of New Mexico, and Deone Duncan Penquite, of Arkansas; step-sister, Joyce Grant, of Oklahoma; nieces and nephews, his brothers in the 4th Marine Division, and undoubtedly countless others.
He will also be missed by his many friends from the Borzoi Club of America.
The American Legion Post 111 in Edmond, Oklahoma, honored Dwyer at the May 16, 2013 meeting. The National Society of The Sons Of The American Revolution will honor Dwyer at their annual congress in Kansas City.
Our salute to Dwyer will be at a future date that will be posted to this site. On that day, if you would like to lift a glass to toast him, send up a prayer or post a remembrance, please join us in spirit.
Dwyer's cemetery marker will soon be in place at the Memorial Park Cemetery, and will be listed at Find A Grave. The planned location is Section 54, lot 88, spaces 1 & 2.
