Aloysius Augustus Dunkley

is a mouthful. Did you know anyone by this name? For many of us this is the

first time we are hearing the name because the owner had never

broadcast it. Almost all of us knew him only as Fudgie.

Mr. Aloysius Augustus Dunkley was born March 15, 1932, in Kingston, Jamaica,

West Indies. The nickname Fudgie as he was affectionately known was

attached to him as a result of him using his money to buy only Fudge for

his lunch at school. Fudgie was 81 years old when he died. He would want

you to know that he lived his life to its fullest. He had a love for his liquor

especially his white rum and beer. He was an excellent chef and loved to prepare

meals for anyone who was willing to eat. Fudgie was also a numbers man. He

never got enough of playing his numbers. If you had a dream and needed it

interpreted to numbers, all you had to do was pick up the phone and call Fudgie.

He would conjure up the numbers affiliated to your dreams. Even in sickness

Fudgie would have his wife Vashti running out daily to play the noontime numbers. Sports were another big passion for Fudgie. You would often find him watching

his European soccer, football and baseball.

Fudgie had a big generous heart. He was kind to strangers as well as his

friends and family. He would take his shirt off his own back

and give it to you if you needed it.

Fudgie met the love of his life 48 years ago. He struck gold when Vashti Smith

agreed to be his wife. She has always been by his side sharing both the best and

worst times with him. She never faltered in her love for him. Fudgie fought hard

during his sickness not to leave Vashti. You see, he was always fretting about

how she would cope if he wasn’t around. On July 1st, 2013, after reassurance

that Vashti would be able to carry on without him, Fudgie gave up his fight

and went home to join their son Donovan.
