John Dulin

Date of Death: January 18, 2012

John A. Dulin, age 68, lost his tee time on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 at Agrace HospiceCare Inc. in Fitchburg after a short battle with cancer. John was born on July 16, 1943 in Iowa City, Iowa and was the son of John and Evelyn (Hawkins) Dulin. He married Sandra Dennis on March 13, 1976 in Davenport, Iowa. John graduated from the University of Iowa and earned an MBA at St. Ambrose in Iowa. He was President of Samuels Recycling for 24 years.
He is survived by his wife, Sandy; 2 daughters, Tracy Hoppman of Waterloo, Stacey Dulin of Sun Prairie; 3 grandchildren, Brooke Dulin of Sun Prairie, Dylan and Isabelle Hoppman of Waterloo; father and mother-in-law, Harry and Bea Dennis of Sun Prairie and a brother and sister in Iowa. He was preceded in death by his parents. John's wishes were to have a private service.
John, Sandy and family would like to thank all of his friends for maintaining contact and involvement throughout his journey. Their actions were appreciated and will be remembered.
John believed that anything over a story or a shot at a bar once would be a waste of time so hold the sorrow hold the tears the big guy lived 68 damn good years. “Golf clubs for sale.” The family suggests memorials be made to Agrace HospiceCare Inc.

My memory of John is his boisterous and quick-witted responses to anything!! I have a great deal of respect for John, and thank God he is no longer in any pain. Good Bye John!!!!! See you on the other side!!

I met John at Sun Prairie golf course a few years ago and always enjoyed his laugh, good stories, and friendship. He was quick with a joke, always remembered your name and was the life of the party. He will be missed by all of us who golfed with him. Rest in peace John!

My family and I are so sorry for your loss. John was an amazing man to work for, and my husband actually wanted to work for the company after listening to John's many speeches at meetings. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Sandy and family, Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. John had an uncanny ability to make everyone around him feel comfortable in his presence.... this is truly a gift! Take care and please know I am sending hugs your way!! Sincerely, Nickie Knoernschild

My prayers and thoughts to you and the family

Mr. Dulin was an amazing man with a giant hug. I will always remember how he ignored my shyness and hugged me with such strength and love. I have so many fond memories of his larger than life personality...but my favorite by far was when he insisted I needed to ride the ducks. I greatly enjoyed my time with him and his family and will always remember every moment spent with him fondly. I wish for his family to find peace in time. To find more smiles and less tears as the days go by. And to find comfort in the amazing life he led and the many lives he blessed.

Sandy and family - i send my prayers to you and the family , what a great person John was to work with, i will never forget how he used to kid me about being so short and wanted to know if i was ever going to grow up: Cindy Begsch Office Clerk Samuels / Alter
