Dudley Ira LaPlue

Family was the most important part of his life. He loved them all deeply. His parents, children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, sisters and brother. Not all of his family were biologically related. He loved them all as if they were.

Dudley was a very fun loving and talented man. He loved entertaining people, singing, and being in a band, was much more than a hobby for him. Everyone who heard him sing and play guitar, loved it.

He was also a very talented machinist. He excelled at the job when you needed to use your brain, not a computer program. He loved learning new things, so he also learned how to use the computer programs in later years.

I was married to him for 37 years. That wasn't long enough. He was a very loving, funny, and protective husband. Together we raised 2 wonderful sons. Everyone who was lucky enough to be loved by him, will miss him forever.
