Carville D."Don" Duncan Jr., chief judge of the Orphans Court of Talbot County and a longtime community leader, died of congestive heart failure on Aug. 2, 2018, at his St. Michaels home. He was 76.

At the time of his death, Judge Duncan was nearing the end of his third four-year term on the orphans court, which handles disputes about wills, the administration of estates, guardianship of minors and similar matters. He was appointed chief judge of the court by Gov. Larry Hogan at the beginning of his current term after serving eight years as an associate judge.

He spent most of his career as a health care administrator and management consultant. He worked in both the acute hospital and long-term care fields for 30 years before establishing Health Management and Consulting LLC in 1994 and The S&H Group in 1996. Both companies engaged in health management and consulting.

Judge Duncan was a past president of the Health Care Facilities Association of Maryland and chairman of its Service Corporation. He served on the board of directors of the American Health Care Association and was a Fellow in the American College of Health Care Administrators. He also served as chairman of the Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators under Govs. William Donald Schaefer and Parris N. Glendening.

He was deeply involved in Talbot County civic affairs. He served as president of the Easton Rotary Club and of the Isaak Walton League's Talbot Chapter. He was chairman of the Talbot County Chamber of Commerce, receiving its 2013 award for community service. He also was a member of the county's Republican Central Committee and served on the boards of directors of the Waterfowl Festival of Easton, the Talbot County YMCA, Maryland State Chamber of Commerce and the Republican Leadership Council. He was a 32nd degree Mason, a member of Granite Lodge #177, and he was a member of the Harbourtown Golf Club.

Born April 14, 1942, in Baltimore, he was the son of the late Carville D. Duncan Sr. and Mary Elizabeth Duncan of Arnold, Md., and Bradenton, Fla. Duncan attended schools in Anne Arundel County and graduated in 1965 from the University of Maryland at College Park with a degree in business administration. He then served in the Air Force as a captain in the Medical Services Corps.

He is survived by his wife of 40 years, Jennifer Angle Duncan; his daughter, Kelly Ann Duncan, of Arlington, Va.; his son, Michael Donovan Duncan; daughter-in-law, Kimberly Duncan, of Hagerstown; grandchildren, Alexander Donovan, Madison LeeAnne Duncan; and a sister, Mary Elizabeth Heatwole of Warrenton, Va. Another sister, Connie Bailey, predeceased him.
