David P. Laudick

David P. Laudick, age 72 of Batesville, died Thursday, February 20, 2014 at Margaret Mary Health. Born January 24, 1942 in Batesville, he is the son of Sarah (Nee: Brokering) and Leo Laudick. He married Judy Robinson October 31, 1964 at St. Louis Church and would have celebrated their 50th anniversary this fall. He was an office manager for Hill-Rom, retiring in 2006 after 45 years. Dave was passionate about sports and played quite a bit of basketball, baseball and softball during his younger days and served as the coach and organizer of Knights of Columbus softball team for years. A dedicated lifelong Batesville High basketball fan, he was also active working with local youth coaching basketball for St. Louis School and little league baseball for several years as well. As he got older, he would trade his ball spikes for golf spikes and eagerly anticipated his yearly golf trip to Myrtle Beach with a group of very special friends. Other activities Dave enjoyed included deer, squirrel, turkey and rabbit hunting, keeping his grass mowed and being a regular at the Brau Haus for lunch. Tuba’s was another favorite stop where he would play 7up, Euchre, Rummy or “any other card game he thought he could cheat at”, his family teased. His pride and joy were his grandchildren and his family is extremely proud of Dave for choosing to participate in the Organ Donor program, giving selflessly of himself so others might have a better life.He is survived by his wife Judy; sons and daughter-in-laws Heath and Michelle of Loveland, Ohio, Jason and Julie of Batesville, Josh and Sandy of Sunman, Jared and Lauren of Hamburg; sisters Virginia Meyerrose of Greensburg, Doris Wenning of Cincinnati; and grandchildren Kirsten, Abigail, Sarah, Evan, Grace, Hunter, Jack, Brice and Lola. In addition to his parents he is also preceded in death by his sister Jacqueline Laudick. Visitation is Sunday, February 23rd, from 1-5 p.m. at the funeral home. Funeral services are 10:30 a.m. Monday, February 24th, at St. John’s Church in Enochsburg with Rev. Bill Ehalt officiating. Burial will be in St. Louis Cemetery. The family requests memorials to the Batesville Athletic Boosters or Batesville E.M.S.-10.
