The Dalles Chronicle, November 16, 2004
     John William Duhrkop, 58, a lifelong resident of Husum, died at his home 
on Nov. 12, 2004.
     He was born on Feb. 9, 1946, in Vancouver, to Ethel Lilly (Hillman) and 
Lester Norman Duhrkop.
     After growing up in Husum and graduating from Columbia High School, he 
attended Clark College on a wrestling scholarship.
     On May 1, 1978 in Illwaco, Wash., he married Daravan “Nancy” Jandansan.
He worked as a heavy equipment operator and helped to build many of the 
logging roads within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. He was also a 
blasting specialist, who worked for Munsen Blasting Company in The Dalles.    
He also helped build “The Hook” in Hood River.
     He loved hunting and fishing, and his interest in geology made him 
somewhat of a rock hound. He was a member of the Elks and Eagles lodges and, 
as a young man, was an Eagle Scout.
     Survivors include his wife of 25 years, Nancy Duhrkop, Husum; daughters 
Kathy Morris, BZ Corner, and Leslie Janssen, Portland; stepdaughter Fiona 
Pynn, Canada; brother Ray Duhrkop, BZ Corner; niece Angela Duhrkop; and two 
grandsons, Ethan Janssen and John Michael Hatch.
     A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 20 at Gardner 
Funeral Home in White Salmon. Please visit www.gardnerfh.com to send fond 
memories and well-wishes to the Duhrkop family.
