Born in Ham- ilton Ontario, Canada on Octo- ber 18, 1930 to Katherine and Stanley Dudzic, he graduated from Villanova University and Ottawa University Medical School. His pro- fession led him to meet and even- tually marry a nurse named Pamela Smith. The couple was married on June 18, 1960. He practiced medicine as a psychiatrist for over 40 years living in Southbury, Conn., Weston, Vt., Scotts- dale, Ariz., and Littleton Colo. He was a devout Catholic. He and his wife raised his three sons; David, Paul and Gregory, in the Church. On December 1, 1978, Dudzic was ordained by Archbishop Wheaton in Hartford, Conn. He faithfully served the Church as a Deacon for 42 years in the Archdiocese of Hartford, the Diocese of Phoenix and in the Archdiocese of Denver. As a Doctor in Psychology, he was gifted with an abil- ity to provide mental healing and spiritual counseling to those in need. " A l t h o u g h retired from his profession while in Denver, he continued to utilize his skills in his ministry," said Deacon Joseph Donohoe, Director of Deacon Personnel.
