Obituary For Robert Michael Hudak

Hudak, Robert Michael, 84, of Egg Harbor Twp., departed this life suddenly on October 4, 2021. Bob, or Bad Bob, as he was affectionately known by his friends, loved his family, reading, arts and crafts and the NY Yankees. Bob became a lifelong devoted Yankees fan when, as a young boy, he was taken to a Yankees game as a guest of a player named Phil Rizzuto. After that, whenever the Yankees were playing, Bob could be found in front of the tv rooting them on. After graduating from high school, Bob joined the US Air Force, where he proudly served his country with honor. Later he would go on to enjoy a long career in the airline industry, working the majority of his career at Eastern Airlines. It was at Eastern Airlines that he met his wife of 54 years, Pat. They lived happily in central NJ raising their family, and later, after his retirement, moved to South Jersey to be closer to their grandchildren. After the passing of his beloved wife, Bob’s heart was broken and he found it hard to find joy in life. All that changed when he met Alice. He became a different person and found his smile again. Life truly had purpose and meaning again and they shared many fun and adventurous trips together. Bob was a member of the Absecon Presbyterian Church where he served on Session and the Men’s Club and helped to feed the hungry at Sister Jean’s Kitchen. He was also a member of American Legion Post #28 in Absecon. He is predeceased by his loving wife, Patricia and brother-in-law, Julian Szurley. He is survived by his loving daughter, Karen S. Houghtaling (Steven); son, Robert S. Hudak (Barbara); beloved grandchildren, Kristin M. Hudak and Robert J. Hudak; sister, Carol Szurley, sister-in-law, Phyllis Carvajal (David); his loving companion, Alice Smith, and a host of loving nieces and nephews. Visitation will be 10:30AM to 12PM on Saturday, October 9, 2021 at Absecon Presbyterian Church, 208 New Jersey Ave., Absecon. A service will follow at 12PM. His graveside service with military honors will follow at the church cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of one’s choice.

We Offer the Book of Memories™

Parsels Funeral Home offers what we consider to be the finest example of online memorials, the Book of Memories™. Created by an award-winning team of web developers and designers while being led by a funeral professional with over 25 years of experience, this online memorial is intended to provide your family with a permanent place to pay tribute to your loved one.

Far more than a traditional obituary—which is usually published only once and has no interactivity at all—the Book of Memories™ Memorial Website is a fully interactive archive of treasured photographs and stories remembered from their time spent with friends, family, neighbors, and co-workers.

You’ll be able to invite others to visit the online memorial, where they can upload images, share stories, write heart-felt messages of condolence, send a floral tribute to the funeral, or make a charitable donation in memory of your loved one. And the built-in social media integration means they can then “spread the word” about their addition to your loved one’s Book of Memories™ using Facebook and Twitter.

We offer the families we serve a Book of Memories™ memorial website with the intention that it gives you a measure of solace and comfort during the coming months. To arrange for a Book of Memories® memorial website for your loved one, contact us today.
