On Wednesday, March 11, 2020, Franklin ‘Randolph’ Duncan of Cornelia went on to his heavenly home. At eighty-four years, he has found much-needed peace and rest. Randolph followed the path home to our heavenly father already traveled by his parents Frank and Maye Duncan and siblings AC Duncan, Maurice Duncan, Ellen Dias and his uncle Wallace Duncan. Among the loved ones, he said goodbye to who are now coping with his loss are his brother Stephen Duncan, sister Ann Dean, four daughters Sherrie Nathan, Connie Roberts, Deborah Powers, Hope Senador and his son Kenneth Duncan.
Randolph was the proud owner of Appletown Autos where he served the Cornelia and surrounding communities. His friends and clients knew him as a businessman who loved what he did with a strong passion from a young age for automobiles. Although, Randolph had been in sales in some form or fashion most of his life, as a Habersham County native he often remarked his many years as the owner of Appletown Autos were the best days of his life. His business was more than a workplace for him, it was one to hold court with much laughter and fellowship with colleagues, family, and friends. Randolph’s sense of humor and infectious laughter were a draw to all who visited. Those family and close friends who knew him the best knew of his compassion and charity for those in need.
He is now made perfect by God and the entire family here and in Heaven is rejoicing in that. The family welcomes all who would join to Cornelia Christian Church on Saturday, March 14, 2020, at 11:00 a.m. to celebrate the life of Randolph. We will encourage communion and laughter as would have been his desire as we celebrate his homecoming. Everyone is requested to assemble at the church at 10:50 a.m.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Whitfield Funeral Homes & Crematory, South Chapel at 1370 Industrial Boulevard, Baldwin, Georgia 30511. Telephone: 706-778-7123.
