You are in my thoughts and prayers. He was my second dad & I loved him. He was so much fun, always smiling (around me anyway). A few months ago we had a visit; he remembered our truck ride with tus kids in the bed of the truck on chairs. The speedster that he was, he went flying over a bump in the road. When I came down, the chair broke!! Ruth, Susan and family, may you be comforted at this time. I’m sure he’s smiling now!!
Our sincere condolences to Mrs. Hudson and the entire Hudson family. Know that your beloved husband, father & grandfather will be with you always, never far away.

I remember you all so well. My sincerest condolences and much love to the whole family.
