CONDOLENCES
Pete Dundon
It is with great sadness that we announce Peter Dundon, beloved husband of Fran Dundon, passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, July 26, 2014, at the age of 73. 

Pete was a Marquette University Graduate. He was the president of Habitat for Humanity of Ozaukee County; a long time board member, past president and man of the year of the Shamrock Club. Pete volunteered at the Italian Community Center, and for over 30 years, he set up the Pompei Exhibit; he was also past president of the Milwaukee Mandolin Orchestra. Pete was a parish council member of St. Robert Catholic Church, St. Monica Catholic Church and extremely involved with Lumen Christi Parish in Mequon. For over 45 years, Pete was a business owner in Shorewood and Mequon. He was a founding member of the Milwaukee Rowing Club for over 60 years.

Peter and Fran have been long-time members of the chamber as business owners of North Shore Office Services in Mequon. Pete attended the chamber luncheons on a regular basis. He will be missed and our deepest sympathy and thoughts go out to Fran Dundon.
