Martin "Joe" Hotaling

November 15, 1944 - January 7, 2017

HUDSON – Martin “Joe” Hotaling, 72, of Lorenz Park passed away on January 7, 2017. He was born on November 15, 1944 in Stuyvesant NY to Beryl (Manchuck) and Watson Hotaling. Joe was a graduate of Rensselaer High School, but faith would reunite him with his Union Street love and together they would make Hudson their forever home. He was employed at IBM in Kingston and Poughkeepsie for 28 years before his retirement, he went on to work for the United States Post Office and Hudson River Bank and Trust. He was a man of many trades and shared all he knew, the most unselfish man there was. His devotion to his children was forever visible as their coach, friend and everlasting supporter. METS fans we will always be because of him! Joe leaves behind his devoted wife of 53 years, Benita (Sacco), along with his three children Bryan(Marcella), Michele, and Debbie(Chet). His most precious grandson Joshua Michael was his best friend; these two shared an inseparable bond that will forever be eternal. His family would not be complete without Clarence, Matthew, and Carter Martin Chase being in it. He is survived by his brothers Ed Hotaling of Rehoboth Beach and Steve Hotaling of Hudson, along with many nieces and nephews. His adored sister Janet Jackson, brother Robert, and niece Karen Keil predecease him. Visitation hours will be Thursday from 4-7pm at the Bates & Anderson-Redmond & Keeler Funeral Home. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday at 10:30am from St. Mary’s Holy Trinity Church in Hudson. Donations in Joe’s memory should be made to Steve Caporizzo’s Pet Connection 341 Northern Blvd Albany NY 12204. Please add “in memory of Martin J Hotaling” in the memo.
