A very nice man.
RIP, Lindy was my dad’s cousin. ( Claude Hudson). To his family and friends my prayers are with you.
We are very saddened to hear of Mr. Hudson’s passing, our thoughts and prayers will be with the family as we remember the times growing up in Connelly Springs . Our grandparents (Shooks and Stirewalts) lived in Connelly Springs and the Hudsons were an integral part of these families. I remember very vividly as a child when my mother and I would go grocery shopping in Connelly Springs at the Hudsons grocery store.
