Notes - HURST, Noah 'Bud' June 30 1926- April 5 2010 Noah was born to an Old Order Mennonite farm family, one of nine children, in Waterloo County (one sister, Mary Ann, still lives in Elmira). Bud enjoyed the simple pleasures of life: his family, his home, trimming the hedge, mowing the lawn, feeding the birds, sitting in his chair reading the paper with the ball game on the radio; yet, never too busy to welcome whomever dropped by the house. Bud and his wife, Evelyn Reid Hurst (d. April 2006) raised seven children: Randall (Sharon), Mike (Debbie), Becky Bolton, (Rob), Lisa Archer (Keith), Rod (Lisa), Cathy Rankine (Gary), Jody Lewis (Sheldon). Twenty grandchildren enriched his life: Michael & Karis Hurst, Jason (Melissa) Olson, Cody & Brittany Hurst, Brandon & Jamie Battersby, Justin (Alison), Caitlin, Ben, Will, Isaiah Archer, Andrew & Devin Hurst, Melissa Juhasz (Aron), Joel & Josh Rankine, Noah, Isaac & Sarah Lewis. He was proud to be a 'great' grandfather to: Noah Olson, Luke & Zach Juhasz and looked forward to more children being born and more weddings this year. He loved his many nieces and nephews. Noah felt the call of duty and enlisted to serve in WWII. He said the enemy surrendered when they heard Bud Hurst enlisted. After the war, he met Evelyn in Kitchener and they were drawn to Windsor by the prospect of a good paying job at Ford Motor Co. They bought their first home in Remington Park and Bud died there, surrounded by the love of his family. Bud was an avid volunteer in the early years in Remington Park, helping to organize baseball leagues, the building of The Booster Pool, and making a rink in his back yard where generations of local kids came to play hockey and feed on Bud's famous burgers. A long time employee of Union Gas, many Windsorites remember Bud as their meter reader. Employee evaluations state he was 'the best worker.' For many years, he worked a second job doing janitorial work. More recently, he got much enjoyment riding his bike, sometimes with a broom and dustpan or clippers in tow to do his civic duty, tidying up the park. Bud was comfortable with who he was. He was content and grateful for his life. He was known to say, "I sure am rich. I sure do have a good family. I sure have had a good life." Memorial donations to Knobby's Kids C/O Windsor Factory Supply, Box 2100, Windsor, ON N8Y4R7 ATT: Jerry Slavik (to provide needy children with access to hockey programs and equipment).
