Stuart Duncan, 93, died peacefully at his home on April 30th, 2021. Born in 1927 in New York City, he began his schooling at St. Bernards and Trinity. At age 14, he moved to Ridgefield, Ct and finished his preparatory education at Wooster School in Danbury.

The sale, which had to be canceled last year due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, was held on Trinity Episcopal Church’s lawn, as it has been held for many years.
