The U.S. Marine Corps veteran known as "Unk Dunk" has used his booming voice and sweet tooth to win the hearts of beachgoers for five decades."All of the guys who are in North Wildwood right now can tell you the same story," said Joseph Duncan. "They walk down the beach and they see people that they have known for 30 years, or 40 years, or in my case, 50 years and their grandchildren are now eating my ice cream.
"When I first heard about this job, I was told that if you live here and you are a veteran, then you're eligible to apply for one of these licenses," he said. "And that excited me because I always thought it was a cool job." "We're all happy that the city allowed us to be here," said Duncan. "And we hope that they continue to allow veterans to come in and replace us."
"When I hear that voice, it just really brings back all the memories from when I was a kid," said Mary Ellen Shaw, who has been coming to the beach since the early 1970s.
