Mr. Hudson was one of my mentors when I was in middle school at Powell from 1999-2002 and he truly was a ray of sunshine to my world. He was one of the only people to truly give me a chance and to never give up on me. He is so missed. He will always have a special place in my heart.
This is one of Hudson's grandsons, Chris. It deeply saddens me to hear of his passing. I remember fondly playing with his dog each time he brought them with him, and that is something I will never let fade away. I will forever hold him within my heart, and I hope he has found some form of peace. Rest easy, Grandpa Hudson.
Regards, CW.
When hearing of Huddy passing, my prayers went out for the family and friends. We all where socially together in the day. His Mom and Pop store was in Mechanicsville in the day. Not many black businesses in the day. God Bless And Keep You. George R Howard Sr
