In Memory
Mr. Donald “Buz” Buzalski, age 78, passed away on
Thursday, March 22, 2007. A 1947 graduate of Union High
School, Buz took part in football, baseball, and
basketball. While in the 7th grade, Buz met Shirley; and
they started to date when Shirley was a junior. There
are many fond memories of the times they shared together
in high school. After high school, Shirley attended the
Michael Reese School of Nursing, and Buz attended junior
college. There was a lot of letter writing, and then Buz
proposed over the phone. They were married on October
18, 1950. One of Buz’ first jobs was at Porter
Machinery, and then he became a letter carrier, a
supervisor, director of customer service, and finally
Postmaster of the Zeeland Post Office—a position he
earned through hard work. When Buz played baseball in
the tournaments, his family always followed him. He
later umpired in baseball, even on the college level.
Buz was a bird lover, and he enjoyed fishing, boating at
the lake, and hearing the sound of his beagles chasing
rabbits. Each summer his garden got bigger and bigger.
For many years Buz and Shirley wintered at K & K Mobile
Home Park in Bradenton, FL. He taught his sons how to be
a dad, and that life wasn’t always fair. His daughters
thought their dad was the strongest man they ever knew.
Buz was filled with integrity, but mostly he was a
mild-mannered person who was respectful to his parents,
a family-centered dad, and a listener who was extremely
fair. He was president of the Concerned Hearts Club
which opened when Butterworth Hospital did its first
heart surgery. Buz started a walk-a-thon for a new blood
machine which was needed for surgery. He is survived by
his wife of nearly 57 years and life-long friend and
sweetheart until the end, the former Shirley Flora;
children, Jakie and Michael Lewicki of Yorkville, IL,
Dona and Ralph VerBurg of Marne, Patricia and Timm
Constanti of Grand Rapids, Michael Buzalski of Walker,
Steven and Stephanie Buzalski of Wyoming, Mollie and
Jerry Vodry of Pierson and Jennifer and Greg Vos of
Pierson; 17 grandchildren who Buz worshiped and adored;
3 great-grandchildren; brother, David and Bonnie
Buzalski of Elkhart, IN; sister, Mrs. Virginia Aungst of
Rockford; mother-in-law, Mrs. Alma Flora of Grand
Rapids; sisters-in-law, Mrs. Jacqueline Bradley and Judy
and John Benson, all of Grand Rapids; and many nieces
and nephews. He was preceded in death by a sister, Mrs.
Betty Kubiak, his parents, Bernard and Irene Buzalski,
and father-in-law, Howard Flora. For the loving care
that was given to Buz, the Buzalski family would like to
thank Hospice of MI and his caregivers, Donna, Becky,
Missy, and Judy. Interment in Pierson Twp. Cemetery.
Memorials: Those planning an expression of
sympathy are asked to consider Hospice of MI, 400 Perry,
Big Rapids, MI 49307.
