Charles Dukeman Obituary
Charles "Bud" Dukeman, born February 14, 1938 to the late Michael and Irene Dukeman, passed away April 20, 2015.
Bud lived most of his life in what is now called the city of Green.
Unable to speak and physically challenged, Bud was fortunate that he had the greatest caregiver who ever walked on the face of this Earth, our mom.
Some of our fondest memories of Bud was he loved to wash the dishes, he got real excited watching the Lone Ranger, Roy Rogers on our little black and white TV, listening to music on our one record phonograph player, and watching his brothers compete in high level sporting events. To see his great excitement while hanging on for dear life in a high powered speed boat, racing other boats for hours was priceless.
For those of you who had the opportunity to see Bud's radiant smile, hear him sing or play his harmonica, understand what a great person Bud was.
Bud leaves his sister, Joanne Segedi; brothers, John and Richard Dukeman; in-laws, niece, nephews, cousins and a host of valued friends.
The family would like to thank the Echoing Ridge staff for his care in his later years. A very special thanks to Bud's surgeon, Dr. Robert G. Scarcella, for his devotion to duty and caring.
Bud, may you have a well deserved "Rest in Peace."
