  Marco Island, FL - Dudley Warren Pierce of Marco Island, Florida died March 28, 2018. He was born January 14, 1930 in Appleton, Wisconsin, the son of Eugene and Muriel Hammond Pierce. Dudley grew up in Appleton where, in 1913, his grandfather founded Pierce Manufacturing which evolved into a worldwide business with Pierce fire engines now on seven continents. Dudley, the fourth-generation Pierce to attend Lawrence University, graduated with honors. His fraternity was Delta Tau Delta. After serving in the Air Force, Dudley attended the University of Wisconsin Law School where he was a member of Law Review. Mr. Pierce practiced law in Wisconsin Rapids, specializing in labor law for management, representing many national companies doing business in Wisconsin. After retiring from his law practice in 1985, Dudley and his wife formed Pierce and Pierce Antiques, specializing in early nineteenth century English Pottery and porcelain and hand-colored prints. Sixteen years of exhibiting at antique shows around the country and traveling to England and Scotland on buying trips was a very happy time. Dudley was an avid reader of scientific literature - especially about space and black holes - biographies, and history. He was a raconteur of British stories told with a Scottish or English accent. His keen sense of humor was enjoyed by many. He was an amateur magician. A fine marksman, Dudley participated in tournaments in Wisconsin and Arizona. He was a lifetime member of the NRA and a member of Ducks Unlimited. A hunter and fisherman, he traveled frequently to fish in the Canadian Northwest Territories. In his youth he was a ski jumper. In the later years he enjoyed downhill and cross-country skiing, curling, and he was a scratch golfer. Genealogy was another interest; Dudley compiled family trees on the Warren, Hammond and Pierce lines. He was a member of the Mayflower Society. Mr. Pierce was the last living founding member of The Other Other Club, a Winston Churchill Society. He was a member of the Conferie de La Chaine des Rotisseurs. He was a watercolorist. Dudley enjoyed woodworking and made special pieces of furniture for the family log house in Upper Michigan. Dudley is survived by his wife of 59 years, Mary, and three children; Dudley, Andrew (Linda), Melissa Demopoulos (Andrew), and seven grandchildren. Services will be private.
