ALAN R. PUDELSKI, a beloved lifelong resident of Macedonia and a proud graduate of St. Peter Chanel High School, class of 1966, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 22, 2026. He is now reunited with the love of his life, his cherished wife Kathleen, who preceded him in death in 2017, completing their enduring bond after 47 beautiful years of marriage. Alan is the cherished father of Kristin Beyer (Shan), and Stacie; adored grandfather of Chad, Dylan, Noah, and Raine; dear brother of Carole Pudelski (Jim), Richard Pudelski (RaeMarie), Ronald Pudelski (Barbara), and Timothy Pudelski (Karen). Born to the late Frank and Helene Pudelski. Alan was an uncle, cousin, and friend of many.
Alan was a man of remarkable resilience, who faced and overcame many life-threatening challenges, showcasing a strength that inspired all who knew him. He honorably served in the armed forces, exemplifying dedication and commitment. His vibrant spirit was matched only by his sharp sense of humor; he took great joy in making others laugh, often bringing smiles to his family's faces with his playful sarcasm and dry wit. Described as handsome, intelligent, hardworking, and straightforward, Alan was a constant believer in the goodness of others. He cherished family vacations and enjoyed the opportunity to explore new places together. His greatest joy came from being a devoted father to his daughters, Kristin and Stacie, and a loving “Papa” to his grandchildren. Alan’s spirit will be profoundly missed, but his love, warmth, and light will forever reside in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
