Duryee, Murlyn D. "Pete"

MADISON, IOWA - Murlyn D. "Pete" Duryee, age 64, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, April 14, 2005. He was born January 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 area 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.
