He will be deeply missed, especially by his wife of 32 years, Deb; son, Derek (Erin) Dulek; mother, Wilma Dulek, sisters, Carolyn Wiczorek and Sharon Dulek, sister-in-law, Betty (Rick) Sloet; brothers-in-law, Fred Cunningham and Russ (Carolyn) Cunningham; step-mother, Pauline Dulek; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Richard Dulek; parents-in-law, Bill and Virginia Cunningham; sister-in-law, Connie Sheaffer; and two nephews.

Deb, since we are no longer living in Greenville, it took us awhile to hear the sad news. We will always treasure the memories from our days together at the Bank. We truly enjoyed seeing Doug at numerous Bank gatherings. He never showed us anything but that devilish grin. The love you shared was very evident to all, and the loss you feel has to be unimaginable. You are both prominent in our thoughts. Marv
