Burpee, Carpenter & Hutchins Funeral Home

Condolence: My brother, Tommy, and I were raised with his Mother, Mary Duchak. I lost contact with the family but never forgo; Johnny, George and Dorothy. My condolences to Lois.

Condolence: Lois our sympathy goes out to you and all your family. You had a long life together with so many good memories to get you thru the tough times. You are in our thoughts, Karen & the rest of the staff at the salon.

Condolence: I am so sorry at John's passing. He was a real friend, offered advise, lots of laughs and so much help. His artistic talents gained rave reviews. Lois, please be assured John will be remembered every time I pass the old homestead in Rockland, or look at one of his signs he made for me that I kept to remember him by. What a guy. Please take care of all your friends that now surround you John and pass a bright colored hand printed note sometime and let us know that now you are safe and free of pain and suffering. We miss you and we love you. Dale and Geri

Condolence: For the past two years, I have been pleased to carry on Mr. Duchak's tradition of painting windows here in Rockland. Many many people have inquired after him and expressed their great regard for him. I have really enjoyed my summer job, and in seeing John's work, and knowing his impressive resume, I can only say that my footprints will always be dwarfed by his. What a rich life... I wish I could have known him. Such a strong vibrant spirit will be with your family always.
