Murlyn D. ‘Pete' Duryee

MADISON Wis. — Murlyn D. "Pete" Duryee, 64, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday (April 14, 2005).

A funeral service will be at noon on Monday at Lulloff-Peterson Houck Funeral Home, 126 Diagonal St., Dodgeville, Wis. Burial will follow at Otter Creek Cemetery in Dodgeville.

Visitation will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. Sunday at Ryan Funeral Home, 2418 N. Sherman Ave., Madison, and from 10 a.m. until the time of the service on Monday at Lulloff-Peterson Houck Funeral Home in Dodgeville.

He was born on Jan. 23, 1941, in Iowa, the son of Dale and Garnet (Decker) Duryee. Pete graduated from Marble Rock High School.

He served his country in the U.S. Army, where he was stationed in Spokane, Wash. He moved to the Racine and Kenosha areas after the service. Pete lived in the area for many years until he moved to Madison in 1999.

He married the former Linda Mellum on Aug. 5, 1999.

His hobbies included camping, yard work and putzing around. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing and spending time with family and friends. His main enjoyment was spending time at their seasonal campsite at Rivers Bend Resort and Campground. This cured his love of being surrounded by nature and the outdoors. Pete was also a member of American Legion Post No. 0351.

He is survived by his best friend and soul mate, Linda; two children, Scott (Jackie) Duryee, and Windy (fiance Robert McCoy) Murphy; two step-children, Heather Collins (Allen Mulcahy), and Tracy Coleman; a granddaughter, Rileigh McCoy; an expected grandchild in the near future; his mother; two brothers, Arnold and David Duryee; two sisters, Shirley Pals and Sandra Fear, and several nieces, nephews, and friends.
