Noel William "Bill" Dudley

After while crocodile.

How blessed you and your brother were to have other when needed most in this lifetime! Because love and memories continue, please be comforted by those thoughts as they come into your consciousness.

10/19/15, my brother's body was returned to dust. I see his essence released into light. And now surrounded with love and knowledge of the universe. My mother and father are there to greet him and help him pass on.

I choose to see the good things that we had. How as children we hid under the blankets, and my brother told stories of monkey armies and heroes.

We made many camping trips as a family. We visited the Indiana Dunes, Starvation rock, and Yellowstone .

One summer, when I was 6, my father was assistant minister in Yosemite Park, we spend a full summer in Yosemite together as a family. Bill had a visitor one night in the small pup tent, a bear cleaned the marshmallows from his face, Bill remembered mom became irate and chased off the bear.

One Christmas Vacation, when I was about 10, father purchased an older Nash coop. We drove across country from Chicago to California to have a holiday with all of the family. Bill and I took turns sleeping on the shelf in the back window.

On another Christmas trip we went from Montana to Connecticut, Father presented a paper at a Theological Society meeting in New York. We Stayed with my aunts' Family. Their two boys went with us to tour New York city, while father was at meetings. We climbed to the tip of the statue of liberty. We took the elevator to the top of the Empire State Building. We also had lunch at the Automat.

Bill and I were active in the boy scouts, while living in St Ignatius, Mt. (1954-55) We made several camping trips and climbed Mt McDonald. Those couple of years as preachers kids were very easy after we spent almost 5 years in Chicago.

Some of Bill's favorite quotes:"Work is the curse of the drinking man." " Your not paranoid If they are out to get you. "

Goodbye Dad I`ll miss you.God bless and keep you.Love always. Randy

Great biography. I didn't know my Uncle Bill very well. It was great of you to do so much work taking care of him when he lived in Atascadero. He was not able to appreciate your sacrifices, but your family saw how you cared and how much it cost you to help. I hope your brother Bill is now at peace. You can be proud of your contribution to his life. I know I am!

This is not goodbye, we will see each other again dad. Love you!

My condolences Art.
