Bob was a friend since the seventh grade at Harrison-Morton Junior High School. He was always witty with a different take on life and I'll miss him. My deep sympathy to Theresa and Suzette.

Mrs. Dudding & Suzette, My heart is broken for you. All of my memories of Mr. Dudding bring a warm smile and usually a belly laugh. He was such a vibrant part of our childhood and teen years and beyond. I loved the notes he'd send at Christmas and at random other times to catch me up on the grandkids and tell other funny tales. I'll miss him being on this Earth. Sending you love and wishing you strength and peace.
