He married Mary Ann on December 4, 1946. In the summer of 1948, Ann gave birth to a boy named Frederick. Frederick was kidnapped on January 3, 1953. Ann then left Dudley. Eventually, Dudley adopted a five-year old American boy named Joey Katczinsky, who lived in an orphanage in Milwaukee.

After being treated for his injuries, he was checked into a mental institute.
