Dukelow, Jr., daughters Doneta Crossland and Diane Mulanax, and granddaughter Anne Jeanette Dukelow, passed away on Friday, June 2, 2000 just as the sun streaming through his hospital window sank below the horizon. Death resulted from complications of a ruptured aortic aneurysm. James was born on October 27, 1915 at home on the family farm 10 miles NW of Hutchinson in Reno County, KS. His father, Elmer, was the oldest son of one of the pioneer farmers in Reno County, James Dukelow, who had emigrated to the U.S. from County Cork in Ireland at the time of the Fenian Uprising. His mother, Jeanette, had been raised on a ranch on the Staked Plains of Eastern New Mexico and educated at New Mexico Normal School. Elmer and Jeanette raised their seven children in a house filled with books on the latest in science and exploration and the classics of literature. As a boy in 4-H, "Stoke" (to his family) raised the first ton litter in Reno County - - a litter of pigs weighing more than a ton at six months of age. He graduated from Kansas State College with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in 1937 and married Gwendolyn V. Oyer in 1938. After Pearl Harbor, he was a "90-day wonder" and served in the Navy as an engineering officer at the Bayonne Navy Yard in New Jersey.

He was a Registered Professional Engineer, a member of the Board of Directors of the Johnson County Library from 1965 to 1972, a Director of the National Environmental Balancing Board from 1971 to 1974, President of the Sheet Metal and Air Conditioning Contractors Association in 1961, and a Life Member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Engineers. Starting in 1960, Jim owned a series of Porsches. He and Gwen were 30-year members of the Porsche Club of America and traveled many times to the Club's annual Porsche Parade. Beginning in 1957, they were "snowbird" visitors to South Padre Island in Texas, eventually building a rental fourplex and second home on the island. Like his grandfather James before him, he was a staunch Republican, serving as a precinct committeeman, and a Deacon, Elder, and Trustee of his church, the Village Presbyterian Church. He loved his family, the island, his Porsches, good friends, dixieland and swing, and the elaborate word play of the comic strip Pogo. After Gwen's death, he married Pauline Houtz in May 1999. He delighted in his new daughters Doneta and Diane and was bursting with energy and full of plans for the future. He was preceded in death by his father, Elmer R. Dukelow; his mother, Jeanette Holland Clapham Dukelow; his wife of 60 years, Gwendolyn V. Oyer Dukelow; his sister, Anne Dukelow Baldridge; and his brother, Thomas E. Dukelow.
