a great high school pal only great memories of Dolly and Duke when they were an item

Unfortunately I haven't seen Uncle Duke in years. When I think of him nothing but fun memories come to me. The tavern was THE place for large family gatherings and those regular weekends with the regulars. He was a fantastic joke teller with his convincing, smooth style that you couldn't stop laughing from. Those memories and the ones upstairs with Gr Grandma Paucek were priceless.
All my love, Duke

Many fond memories of Duke, a good man who gave me my first and best job ever!! I looked forward to it everyday, the best thing was knowing the family and becoming lifelong friends.

Loves to all,

Mike Wichser

I have all good memories of Uncle Duke. As a kid Great Gramma Paucek would watch us upstairs from Dukes and I would always find a reason to go downstairs and Uncle Duke would let me wash glasses behind the bar...the pig roasts...wedding receptions...bridal or baby showers held at the bar gave our family a gathering place. Uncle duke taught me how to dance also...RIP..I love you!

I have many fond memories of Duke when he and Dolly ran "Dukes" formerly "Ma's". As a neighbor, I would go there on weekends and listen to the music of Bill and June Spaulding. At that time his brother "RAGS" would be collecting a dollar at the door to get in. Then when Dolly opened up the grill and started cooking sandwiches there, several times a week he would run food over to us working at Briggs and Stratton. Not only was he a great neighbor to me but many years a great friend. Rest in...
