December 17, 1930 – May 23, 2021
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dear husband, father and grandfather, William (Bud) Hambleton on May 23, 2021.
Bud was born December 17, 1930 to Reg and Emily Hambleton. He is survived by his devoted wife of 67 years, Helen; daughter Leslie; son Kelly (Sue); and daughter Cory (Gordon); grandson Marc-Oliver; granddaughters Alex and Aidan; sisters-in-law Rose Fegus and Joan Dresna; and nieces and nephew Kirk Miller (Janice), Janice Miller, Maureen Brunton and Karen Dresna-Cochrane. He was predeceased by his parents; sister Violet Miller and brother Don Hambleton. He will now be joining close friends who left this world before him: Ernie Riffel, Jock Berezanski, Mike Kolochen and John Magnussen.
Bud worked at Molson’s for over 30+ years and really enjoyed his time there. He loved sports, playing lacrosse, baseball and hockey in his youth, and coaching hockey for several years at Morse Place Community Club. His favourite place to be was at the cabin at Spruce Sands with family.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Heart & Stroke Foundation of Manitoba or a charity of your choice. At Bud’s request, no service will be held.
