Udell was a 1958 graduate of Burnsville High School and a member of the Burnsville Bruin football team. He had many good friends, both on and off the field (he liked to reminisce with Vincent Post about “the game” when the two caught up thru the years. We fans won’t go there but some of you will recall what happened.)
He left WV to find work after graduating and was successful in the food canning industry in Middleport, NY, area. After buying a property in Frewsburg, NY, he retired there but continued working at a large local marina. He spent a lot of free time rebuilding and adding to a small cabin, turning it into a lovely house and improving his beloved fish pond. Udell was also a jack of all trades and had a gift for repairing or fixing about anything large or small. He loved the great outdoors be it hunting, fishing, gardening, feeding the birds, etc. Nature was his thing. He was a person of great integrity and everyone knew you could count on his word or a handshake.
