Albert A. 'Buz' HUDSON JR

HUDSON, Albert A. Jr. "Buz" - Age 61, of Grand Blanc passed away Saturday, March 14 at home, surrounded by the family he loved. Al was born August 8, 1947 in Durand, son of Albert and Ruby (Vogt) Hudson. He graduated from Durand High School in 1965 and went to serve his country in the U.S. Army, during Vietnam. Al retired from General Motors in 1995, so that he could continue teaching his children and grandchildren the joys of childhood, and that we should never lose that joy. He was always the best of friends, willing to lend a hand. Besides spending time with his family and many friends, Al enjoyed coaching his daughter's little league teams, hunting, fishing and sports of all kinds, and his excitement in these events was contagious. He loved the outdoors, and summer camping trips were always a special event, packed full of fun. He was a member of the Linden Sportsman Club and Eagles #629. He is survived by his wife, Linda; children, Michael Hudson, Traci (Pat) Lee, Adrienne (Brian) Randolph, Elizabeth (Jim) VanConant; stepchildren, Melinda (Ryan) Smith, Julie (Ken) Howard; 11 grandchildren; 3 great grandchildren. He is also survived by sister Cindy Gotham; sister-in-law Debbie (Neil) Randall; brother-in-law, Mike Klette; nieces, nephews and many, many wonderful friends. He was predeceased by his parents; wife, Kristine; brother-in-law, Tom Gotham, as well as the other family and friends that went before him. Funeral services will be held 1 PM Wednesday, March 18, 2009 at Sharp Funeral Homes, Linden Chapel, 209 E. Broad St., Linden. Visitation will be held 5-9 PM Tuesday.
