Maurice Hartsock

Maurice (Bud) Hartsock born November 28, 1919, in Unionville, Indiana, to Charles and Sarah Hartsock, spent his full and productive life in the Bloomington area. He never tired of going for rides to see the changes that were occurring in the area or going downtown and strolling the streets and seeing the sights. In his early career Bud worked in the logging business owned by his family. But his absolute love of cars and anything that related to them led him to open several local businesses that served automobiles. Many locals still remember Hartsock Shell Station and Full of Pep Auto Parts where Bud innovatively and passionately served his customers. Community involvement was important to him and he especially enjoyed serving as president of the local Optimist Club. Bridge Church of Christ was his spiritual home, and his close and loving relationship with Reverend Russ and his wife Barbara added joy and fullness to his life. A devoted husband, father and grandfather, Bud was never without a smile and a good attitude. And his 75th wedding anniversary, surrounded by family and friends, but gave this advice for a long and successful marriage: "Don't go to bed angry and always consider the other person first " As he rests in peace, we can all benefit from this and other ways he modeled love and wisdom. Bud is survived by his beloved wife of 76 years, Velma Crews Hartsock; children, Jerry Hartsock and Terri Hartsock Weiser; four grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers, Wayne and Roger Hartsock, aid sister, Fern Hartsock. A funeral service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Monday, February 5, 2018 at Allen Funeral Home and Crematory, 4155 S. Old State Road 37, Bloomington. Burial will follow at Little Union Baptist Cemetery.
