James had served as a mechanic during the First World War (CFR 12 Aero Squadron). After the war, he became an auto mechanic. In 1929 he bought his own car repair establishment in Commack, NY. He was also an aide for the United States Veteran's Administration Hospital in Northport, where he and Dorothy bought a house on Ocean Avenue.
James Dugan died in Saugus Californina while visiting his daughter. His body was flown back to Northport where he was buried in St. Philip Neri RC Cemetery in East Northport.
Dorothy Kennedy Dugan may have considered her greatest achievement in life (besides the raising of her family) the conversion of her husband to the Catholic faith. It was this faith which saw her through the death of her first-born child before he reached maturity. Born with Down's Syndrome, he died from tuberculosis and is buried at St. Philip Neri RC Cemetery.
Dorothy Dugan died in a New York nursing home at the age of 95. In her final months she was surrounded by the love of her brother's and sister's families. She is buried beside her husband, her mother, Mary Landrigan Kennedy, sister, Aldegondes Payne and Alde's daughter, Nancy Payne at St. Philip Neri RC Cemetery in East Northport, NY.
