Wilbur Allen Duffendack

Dearest Allison,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, even though I never met "Grandpa" I feel I knew him thru your stories. I remember how we would laugh at some of his antics. You have been blessed so much to have been able to share the last 2 1/2 years with him. Even though he is gone from your sight, he will live in your heart forever. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

dear Allison, what a golden gift you were to him. how many people would give up their time and life to care so lovingly and support a family member as you have done over the years.

My husband, Frank and I had some great party times in Craig Woods with Wilbur and Norma. We were lucky to have them as our neighbors. Mary Niet

"Uncle Bud" was married to my mom's cousin, known as "Aunt Norma" to us younger generation cousins. My sister & I adored both of them. My father had already passed when I got married in 1985. I knew exactly who I wanted to ask to escort me down the aisle - Uncle Bud. We stayed in Christmas-card touch over the years. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. My prayers are with you.

Our daughter, Lynn, who lives in Kirkwood, just called us about Wilbur's passing. How well I remember Wilbur and Norma. What wonderful people, just like all the Duffendacks and Sutcliffes. You are in our prayers.
