Peter J. Jungblut, 50, of 2240 Pasadena Drive, Apt. 4, died Saturday morning, Aug. 23, 2003, at The Finley Hospital, Dubuque.

He was born on May 19, 1953, in Dubuque, son of Donald and Dolores (Keller) Jungblut.

He attended Hempstead High School and was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. He enjoyed fishing with his family and friends, boating and bowling.

He was well known at the Kennedy Mall for the many errands and generous favors he did for anyone who needed assistance.

He was a C.B. radio enthusiast, with the handle "Big J." Although he had a lifelong handicap, he lived life to the fullest, with a very positive attitude. For the past five years, he made his home with his beloved soul mate, Mary Streif.

Surviving are his beloved, Mary Streif, of Dubuque; his mother, Dolores Jungblut, of Dubuque; two brothers, James A. (Sue) Jungblut, of Massey Station, Iowa, and Bob D. (Barb) Jungblut, of Bellevue, Iowa; three sisters, Jane Jungblut and Mary Jo (Jude) Neyens, both of Dubuque, and Lynn (Mike) Mellecker, of Hills, Iowa; and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father, Don, in April 1995; and his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Keller and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Jungblut.

The family requests no flowers. A Peter J. Jungblut Memorial Fund has been established.

The family wishes to extend a special thank-you to Dr. John Whalen and the dialysis staff at The Finley Hospital for the special care extended to Peter.
