My brother Bud was the nicest, most patient brother on earth. I want to mention some things that on one told in the memorial service. Bud and Jerry did volunteer work for many years in Rockport. Jerry gave tours at Fulton Mansion for 10 years. They worked at Castaways where they sold clothes and other items to help the needy. When they purged every so often, they took the items to south Texas. They also worked at Good Samaritans assisting the needy with food, clothing, medical, utilities etc.
I've been trying to think of a time when Bud became angry or lost his temper. The only thing I can think of is when he and Jerry were driving and he accidently hit a dog. A woman in another car yelled at him. He tried to catch her and tell her what he thought, but I don't know if he did.
Carl and I RV'd with Bud and Jerry for years. What fun! The boys were right about Bud-when we were in Rockport out in the boat, Bud was always more interested in me catching a fish than himself. He knew every time I lost a minnow and hurried to get me another one.
One weekend, Ann Poland Parker (Bud's cousin), brought her cheerleading megaphone home. At Pantego, there was one lot between our houses. Buddy was at Ann's and yelled in the megaphone something that sounded like "Help". Daddy heard him and began running as fast as he could down Arkansas Lane. He thought if Bud could yell that loud maybe he could get there in time to save him! Daddy didn't think it was as funny as we did.
I will miss by brother so much. I know he has a mansion in Heaven!

My mom, Jean, was Buddy's sister. My Uncle Buddy was a ray of sunshine when he was around. I loved his smile and can still hear his laughter when telling a funny story about growing up with 37 cousins. Every time he came to visit, he wanted to help in any way he could. He loved tinkering with things and fixing them. He was gracious enough to play his guitar at my wedding while his daughter-in-law, Susie Hanson sang. It was great!
Buddy once told us about a time when the boys were small. They were standing in line at an event and the boys were being a little rowdy. He reached down and gave one of them a swat. When the little boy looked up at him, oops, it wasn't his son. He apologized to the boy's father, but all laughed and no one was upset. The father said the boy needed it anyway because he was rowdy too.
Buddy's mother told about a time when Buddy was a little tyke. She had made a chocolate cake and set it on the dining room table. When she came back, Buddy was at the table and had eaten all the icing off the cake. He said, "Nannie, I guess I done." He was so cute she couldn't get mad.
We all loved Uncle Buddy and will miss the happy times with him!

I remember Buddy Hanson in the fishing trips he plan for Browning Heights at his home. Also Buddy and Jerry always plan the Sherwood Singers gatherings at the church, they introduce their music to us. When they move to Rockport, and they find out I took photo's of courthouses they send me to country seats near where they live. Buddy will be miss.

It is so hard to describe an individual like uncle Buddy. They do not make many men like him today. He was such a kind, gentle and loving man and always made me proud to come from a family with these qualities. Growing up I always felt his dad, Claude (pop) was one of the nicest men I had ever had the pleasure to have known, even for such a short time. Uncle Buddy followed in pop’s footsteps. I love my family.

Buddy and Jerri had a profound influence in the lives of Cathy and I (and many other youths) as they were Youth Group Leaders (along with Don and Doris Emerson) at Browning Heights Presbyterian Church. The great memories of the times with Buddy and Jerri are forever in my memory. His gentle demeanor and loving nature was a perfect fit for leading teenagers. The endless hours poured over doing things for the youth group will be a crown in Heaven (among many others). I can only wish my life influences half the lives that Buddy’s influenced. I’m sure God has already said “Well done my good and faithful servant”
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I am very saddened by the passing of Uncle Buddy and my prayers are with all of the family. I will always have fond memories of Uncle Buddy not that I have spent a lot of my life being around him but the memories of our family get -togethers out at Newark represent a very happy time in my life and Uncle Buddy was a part of that. It was a time that I will never forget.
