Eugene “Tuddy” Parworth Jr.

Eugene “Tuddy” Parworth Jr.  entered heaven peacefully on Jan 20 while a resident at Shady Lane Nursing Home.  Tuddy was born in Manitowoc to Eugene Sr. and Josephine Parworth on June 10, 1941.

He graduated from Lincoln High School in 1959.  Tuddy married Janice Langley, the love of his life on November 4, 1960. He worked for many years at Parker Hannifin Corporation before retiring in 2003.

Tuddy was very generous and giving, and would go out of his way to help others anytime the opportunity presented itself. Tuddy’s passion was hunting and fishing with his family nearly every weekend at his property in Northern Wisconsin. His Son Larry has many special memories of times spent together at deer camp, trout fishing on the Peshtigo River and on the Manitowoc pier catching trout and salmon. Tuddy also enjoyed hand crafting primitive bow and arrows and spending time tending his garden.

Tuddy was a devoted husband and Father who always placed the needs of others above his own. He faithfully served his wife Janice for many years, caring for her when her health was failing.

Tuddy is survived by his Son Dr. Larry (Kapi) Parworth of Braselton Georgia; Brothers Tim (Judy) Parworth of Milwaukee, and Chris Parworth of Manitowoc; Grandchildren Sacha Stininger, Georgia Strauss, Caroline Parworth-Morad and Emily Parworth; 6 Great Grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.  He was preceded in death by his parents, Wife Janice, Son Gene and Daughter Kari, Brother Joseph Parworth, Sisters Sylvia McGlin and Sally McGlin.

Family will have a celebration of Tuddy’s life at a later date.
