LUDOVISSY, David A.
LUDOVISSY, David A. (Dubuque, IA, Feb. 19, 1950--Apr. 2, 2026). The son of Art and Clara (Hefel) Ludovissy, Davidd attended WAHLERT CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL and LORAS COLLEGE. On November 23, 1972, Dave married Ann (Kennedy).
Dave’s professional life started as a Blue Star Potato Chip delivery driver and continued at Prudential Life Insurance. In 1985, Dave took a leap of faith and opened his own independent insurance agency. Through integrity, hard work, and genuine care, Dave built the agency into Ludovissy and Associates.
He served on the Hospice of Dubuque Board and Foundation and was a faithful member of ST. JOSEPH THE WORKER CATHOLIC CHURCH and served on the parish council.
Sports were Dave’s true second career. He loved playing them, watching them, coaching them, and offering enthusiastic (and sometimes unsolicited) commentary. Over the years, he played on numerous slow‑pitch and fast‑pitch softball teams and spent many seasons competing in league basketball. His love of fast‑pitch softball extended well beyond the field, earning him induction into the DUBUQUE FAST PITCH HALL OF FAME., He later served as president for several years, continuing to support and promote the game he loved. Dave coached Independent League Baseball, traveling baseball teams for his sons, and freshman basketball at Wahlert. In later years, he became his grandchildren’s biggest fan, rarely missing a dance recital, game, meet, or match. .
