His sister, Cheryl, would love to talk to anyone who knew Chuck; please email me and I will pass your info onto her.

	Kenneth Mark Dunipace 34, of Venice CA, lost his eight-year battle with melanoma on August 3, 2002. Born June 6, 1968 in Phoenix, Ken was a graduate of Shadow Mountain High School and attended Scottsdale Community College before earning his degree in English Literature at the University of Arizona. A musician and published poet, he was a founding member of the local band, Basic Elements, and later taught guitar. Drawn by the music world, Ken moved to the Los Angeles area in 1992. He worked briefly for A&M Records but his real passion was expressed in composing and performing his own works and those of his many close friends in the industry. Ken played back-up for performers as diverse as Weird Al Yankovic and Chilean composer and singer Jacqueline Fuentes de Gallo. He also oversaw his own music studio where he honed his skills at recording and mixing the efforts of a variety of artists from gospel singers to concert cellists. A member of ASCAP, his original compositions have provided background music at Disney World and for various screen plays. Upbeat and positive through his many medical challenges, Ken leaves behind his loving and caring wife Lisa Hornung and their son Ian Quinn Dunipace of Venice and his parents Jan and Doug Dunipace of Phoenix. Also sharing the loss of Ken's special presence are his sister and brother-in-law Leslie Dunipace and Steven Flower of Altadena, CA, sisters-in-law Jenny Hornung of Hollywood, CA, and Ingrid Allsop (Roger), of Melbourne, Australia, brother-in-law Karl Hornung (Karen) of Canberra, Australia, parents-in-law Gretl and Hans Hornung of Arcadia, CA and nieces Emma and Josie Hornung and Zoe and Grace Allsop in Australia. Other survivors include aunts and uncles Betz and Dave Collins of Oceanside, CA, Judy and Lester Dailey of Largo, FL, and Doris Finney of Pinellas Park, FL, and cousins Dana Collins of Hollywood, FL, Jill Hisey (Steve) of Arcadia, CA, Larry Finney of Tampa, FL, Janet Finney of Palm Harbor, FL, Lisa Falknor (Doug) of Farmington, AR, and Gail Prettyman of Point Pleasant, NJ, and great aunts and uncles Helen Risteau of Dallas, TX, Eleanor and Bob Holcomb of College Station, TX and Dick Dunipace of Bowling Green, OH. Ken's family and a myriad of special friends will miss his ready smile and sharp wit. A memorial service will be held at 2:30 pm on Saturday, August 10 at First United Methodist Church, 5510 N. Central Ave., Phoenix. In lieu of flowers, contributions to an education fund in the name of Ian Dunipace may be made to First Republic Bank, Attn: Lisa Lemons, 1888 Century Park East, Century City, CA 90067 (310.407.7012).
