Paul Dudash Obituary

Paul Thomas Dudash, 71, of Finksburg, died unexpectedly, Friday, January 26, 2024 at home. Born, August 30, 1952 in Baltimore, he was the son of the late Stephen Dudash and Catherine Croftcheck Dudash. Survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Bonny Dudash. In addition to his wife, he is survived by his children, Nicole Harper and her husband, Michael, of St Petersburg, FL, Julie Jarosinski and her husband, Brian, of Manchester, MD, Ryan Dudash and his wife, Erika, of Manchester, MD; grandchildren Ethan Jarosinski, Elise Jarosinski, and Mason Dudash; sisters Catherine Freed of Gettysburg, PA and Stephanie Dudash of Taneytown, MD. He was predeceased by his brother Stephen Dudash, Jr. Paul trained to become a machinist and took pride in his work at Kaydon and Koppers. Paul made a beautiful home for his family and friends, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all. He was also a skilled jokester, and many have fallen victim to his humor and playfulness. Paul enjoyed spending time with his wife and family. Many memories made during weeknight dinners, holiday gatherings, and many family vacations. One of his favorite locations was Deep Creek Lake. He also found joy in attending his grandkids sports events, spending time with his granddogs, cooking, fishing, and watching movies. He faithfully attended Hampstead Baptist Church and drew strength and comfort from his relationship with his Lord Jesus Christ. Celebration of Life will be held at Hampstead Baptist Church, 328 Hanover Pike, Hampstead, MD 21074 on Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 2 p.m. Light dessert and refreshments will be provided after the service for fellowship with family and friends.

Happy memory- The time Mr.Paul and I got yelled at in the back row of a funeral for giggling too much about how I should definitely name my then unborn daughter Paula and that no other name could compete

I met Paul in May of 62. I was moving into our new house and he was playing in my backyard that used to be a vacant lot that he and the locals played in. He wasn't real happy that the lot was gone.
