David Martin Fude
1937-2022
KENOSHA - David Martin Fude, 85, of Kenosha, passed away on Monday, November 14, 2022, at home.
Born in Fond Du Lac Co., WI, on August 9, 1937, he was the youngest of 11 children to the late Otto and Elsie (Schwandt) Fude.
David worked for American Motors, Renault, and Chrysler as a lineman and final repair for 30 years. He loved fixing cars, and his sarcastic quips were enjoyed by many.
On August 6, 1960, he married Marion Rose Bishop in Milwaukee. He was the very proud father of Martin (Judy), Ken (Deann), Duane (Brenda), Darren (Kristen), and his sweet loving daughter, Cynthia (Jeff).
David's grandchildren (six boys and six girls) always brought joy to his life. He is also a special great-grandfather to 13 children.
A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, November 26, 2022, at The Fireside Restaurant, 2801 30th Avenue, at 2:00 p.m.

Mr Fude was always a positive force in my life. in the early 70's we moved to the northside next to the Fude's, and even though it's been many years since I moved away from 18th Avenue, he has always part of my character-even to this day. Anytime I run around with keys making noise in my packet I say, "Oh, her comes Mr Fude!". Whether it was folding newspapers early in the morning, doing donuts in the AMC station wagon on snowy days, or being called Charlie Brown he was a respected father in the neighborhood. He would insist that my twin brother Andrew and I write our initials on our palms so he could tell us apart. In fact, 4 or 5 years ago when I last visited the Fude house he asked to see my hand so he knew which Thiel twin I was.
To Mrs Fude and all of the kids, I am so sorry to hear about Mr Fude's passing. My family was very fortunate to have moved next door to your family many, many years ago.
