Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryBRUCE MACLEAN HUDSON November 13, 1928 - October 8, 2016 Just shy of his 88th birthday, our husband, father, grandfather (Grampy), and friend passed away. Bruce is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Verla, and their four children: Diane (Jim Husiak), Gordon (Janice Lobson) and his cherished grandchildren, Melissa and Garrett; Elaine LaMonica (Patrick), and Scott (Jeri Anderson) and his beloved grandsons, Brady and Chase. Bruce retired from the Province of Manitoba in June 1987, after 38 years of service, just in time for golf season!! He was always very involved in sports as an athlete, coach, broadcaster, administrator, volunteer, and archivist. He is a Past President and Honorary Life Member of the Strathcona Curling Club, the Manitoba Curling Association and Pine Ridge Golf Club. He was inducted into the Manitoba Curling Hall of Fame as a Curler-Builder in 1994; the Manitoba Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003; and was instrumental in having the Rosedales Baseball Team inducted in 2015. He skipped the Manitoba rinks at the Briers in 1964 and 1967 together with the Senior Championship in 1981. He was on the Manitoba Senior Golf Team at the Canadian Seniors in Calgary in 1991. He loved all things golf, had strong thoughts regarding the direction curling had taken, and without a doubt, the New York Yankees was the only baseball team that mattered! He was a long-time member of Knox United Church, serving on the Board, including being Treasurer for a number of years. He was predeceased by his parents, Gordon M. Hudson and A. Flora (MacLean) Hudson, and his only sibling, Margaret E. Hudson. In lieu of flowers, kindly consider donations to the Manitoba Golf Scholarship Fund, c/o Golf Manitoba, 145 Pacific Ave., Winnipeg, MB, or to a charity of your choice. Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. at Pine Ridge Golf Club, Pine Ridge Road off Garven Road. "If there ever comes a day when we cannot be together, keep me in your heart, I shall stay there forever". Thanks for the memories, we love you and will miss you so very much.

Our condolences to all the Hudson family for your loss. Bruce was a good friend of our Mother's (Ethel Hawkins) who passed away 2012. He always could make her smile with his dry wit and choice comments. We are sure having his service at Pine Ridge would "putt" a smile on his face.
