I was Kind of surprised to Dudleys obit in the paper this morning he was an honor to get to meet him at Rubys. I know he has had a hard last few years and he is now back with the love of his life Marilyn whom I am sure welcomed him home with open arms.

Uncle Dud and Family,
I love you and miss you. Some of my most memorable moments were spent at your home in Omaha. The holidays, especially Easter, were always so special. I know you are all going through some very tough times. I am keeping you in my prayers and can not wait to see you all again.
Love you always,
Lorraine

Dudley was an amazing man. I'm luck that I got to know him and Marilyn. A very special memory is their 50th Anniversary party and seeing them dance. I'll miss his wicked sense of humor. Now we have one more Packer fan in heaven.
