Daniel J. Dunne, 99, years went to be with our Lord on November 9, 2017. Born April 17, 1918 in the Bronx, NY and raised in the Taunton, No. Dighton area of Massachusetts. He was a WWII Veteran of the Battle of the Bulge. In 1951 he relocated with his family to Butner, N.C. with Mt. Hope Finishing Co. where he worked for 48 years. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. Mr Dunne was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Mary and his son Peter M. Dunne as well as his grandson, Joel D. Jackson and granddaughter, Stephanie H. Dunne.
He is survived by his daughter, Mary D. Utley of the home; a son, Daniel J. Dunne III and wife Susan of Pfafftown, N.C.; grandson, Barry Dunne also of Pfafftown, N.C.; great-granddaughters, Gracelyn and Lillie of Winston Salem. He will be greatly missed by all of us.
There will be no immediate plans for a Memorial Service as it was Dad’s request that we remember him for the person he was, his smile and caring and thoughtful man he always tried to be.
